They actually discharged us home yesterday! Right after I got back from blogging, the nurse practioner was in Katie's room, and said we could go home!! We had to wait to see physical therapy, they had to check if Katie needed a special carseat. Thankfully, she didn't and we were able to use the one we had. My Aunt and Uncle visited for awhile, and we left around 3:30. The nurses were great, but we were excited to get home!!! Last night she wanted the "huggie" (that's what Katie calls the brace) off!!!!, but luckily we were able to distract her with Little People animals. We were nervous about night time, but she only woke up twice, and I got her back to sleep quite easily.
Today we did a lot of playing, and experimented with different toys, games, etc...she could do without standing, walking, running!!! Thankfully she fits in the highchair that my mom has, and she of course colored all over the tray! Unfortunately, I couldn't get her to nap, so she has spent the rest of the day in my arms. Now I know she only weighs 11 lbs, but even she gets heavy, or a little awkward with the brace. I then remind myself she has only been out of surgery for 48 hours, so I think she's doing pretty well! I even put her in her shamrock dress and we had Shepherd's Pie for dinner. I didn't think we'd be home today, so we had our Corned Beef on Sunday!
