Amber Happy to be Home & New Pics in Photostream - Post 15

Amber is home resting and doing great. She has watched a steady diet of Max & Ruby (much to Dad's dismay) and is moving around with relative ease. Dad moved her bed out into the living room so she can sit out there and watch movies for the next several days. She is certainly eating up all of the attention and waiting that we continue to do for her. In regards to pain, the ibuprofen and Tylenol mix seems to be doing the trick and she has what I call kiddy vicodin for nighttime. She is also taking a liquid water pill for a few weeks to help flush out her system.

Amber will now be limited for about six weeks. During this time, no swimming or bathes, jumping on trampolines, riding bikes, etc. or any other activity that might cause her internal stitching to split. So, Amber can't do any of the activities that she loves to do. It will be interesting to see what happens once Jamie and I have to start holding Amber back from doing things.

I've included some pictures of her incision just to give you an idea of what they did cut-wise. Its essentially the same incision as what Jamie had when she had her pneumonia surgery.

Several people have asked about visiting and that's fine. Just call or text ahead of time to make sure we will be home. We plan on staying home Sunday. Now that things are settling down, updates to this blog will be fewer and farther between, but I will update as progress is made. Thank you again for all of your support everyone.
