Its amazing that three days ago at this time Amber was being sedated for the most part, because you'd have no idea that she had major surgery after seeing her today. She has been up playing all day long, rather than laying (sorry English teachers if I spelled it wrong) around. Earlier this morning she joined me picking green beans and cucumbers in the garden and we checked out the ten pumpkins we currently have. She then drove her Jeep around and has been playing non-stop since then. She ate her dinner well and has rediscovered her favorite snacks. Uncle Bob and Grandpa Swack stopped by and she even lightly rough-housed with them and didn't even wince when she was hugged hard :) She runs (not walks) through the house and is having no difficulty with the stairs. Since she is doing so well I didn't take it easy on her and I whooped her in two straight games of Princess Chutes & Ladders!
Its incredible how quickly she has bounced back from this. Tylenol and Ibuprofen are doing the trick and I'm not quite sure they are even necessary right now (she woke up with all of her medicine worn off and didn't complain about it). Not giving the kiddy vicodin tonight as it made her wiry last night and I finally pulled the plug on the TV at 12:45 am on her :) She is a resilient little girl and our biggest issue right now is how the heck we are going to get the rats' nest out of the back of her hair. Thanks again for all of your thoughts and prayers - they've been working so far.
WOOOOO HOOOOOOO amber! you go girl :) still got cheesey ham and potatoes for you!
