Hi to everyone! Shelby had her growth rod surgery done on monday. Everything seems to have gone well. She claims to have a pain level of 5 on a scale of 1-10. Last night she was taken off the morphin, so today it's a 6 or 7. She's not quite ready for everything they want her to do, but she's trying. They wanted her walking yesterday to possibly be out today, Hah! She did walk to her doorway for me this morning, after having bandages changed and sitting in the chair. That was a little to much for her and she threw up her Pedia-Sure and pain meds. We're waiting till the next round of meds to walk further. She had to do x-rays yesterday, which were rough. One did not come out right, so we have to do it again later.
My mom and sister are working on setting up a bed for her in the living room of our house today. I wish I had been warned that stairs might be too much the first few weeks, I'd have changed things last week. Luckily we have a trundle bed that can be moved.
After three long days I had to have my mom sleep in the room with her last night. I was too exhausted and knew we'd have a lot to do today. My sister said she never seen me walk so fast to the car. Take Care, Emily
