All done

It has been a long week already. It started Sunday night with a pedicure for Bri...such cute baby toes! Who doesn't feel better with cute feet!
On Monday morning pre-op was a breeze...
Post-0p was not as easy... She is now minus a gallbladder and appendix.
She had a hard first night, it was difficult to keep the pain controlled. I am grateful that we were at the hospital that first night because they were able to give her pain meds through her IV and they worked faster than the oral meds. She had some amazing nurses that were kind and caring, even though they had to show her some "tough love" at times.
All smiles before we head home, even though that is not how she felt! She is always willing to smile for the camera! She had five incisions and pretty much looks like a pincushion. She is also a cute model for the new nightgown that Aunt Marf made for her. Thanks Marf!

We got home Tuesday afternoon and she slept most of the afternoon and Tuesday night she slept all night without needing any more pain medication. Today she has only had ibuprofen and is doing great, even got her hair washed in the sink and is feeling refreshed!

She has been a trooper and I am glad she is back home and doing so well!

I'm glad she is on the road to recovery. I am also happy that she likes her new nightgown. I need to make Courtney her matching one so they can be twinners (you know they look just like each other!)
