She's doing so well

It has been 4 full weeks since Baby Girl had her decompression surgery.  I am amazed every day at how well she has done.  The outer stitches are working their way out now, causing some bumps and soreness, but otherwise, she is doing great.

We've had a few scares with school since she went back.  One kid hit her hard in the head near her incision, on purpose.  Ugg..  Had to call the school on that one.  Another was a relative who grabbed her by the head and gave it a shake.  To see if her brain would fall out.  It was meant in fun, but I had to let his mom know about it.  Thankfully, she was only sore after the first hit, and okay after the shake.  Oh, and she got hit in the head at lunch by a basketball.  GRRRRRRR   It makes it hard on momma not to just run into the school and scream at these insensitive kids.

I think Brother was worried about the surgery.  He has been hanging out with her more, teasing her more, and just being more goofy than normal with her.  Brother told me that he was really scared when they took her into surgery that morning.  That is a huge thing for him to admit to.

Thanks to all our friends during this time.  And our supportive family.  All the calls and visits have meant so much to us.


It's not pretty, but is healing up pretty well.  :)
