In retrospect, last night was pretty good. Linley did have some ups and downs as you would expect.
On the up side, she did get some much needed rest. The nurses were also very nice and helpful. They were very attentive and really helped the experience be more positive. I stayed there with her and was glad to see her be able to recuperate some. It was also nice to have a good visit from Dr. Gaufin this morning. He has been very forthright and very helpful to spend whatever time we need to answer questions. She did take a walk up the hall this morning and stood up on her own so that was good too.
On the down side, she did throw up 3 times between last night and this morning. I guess that's not too abnormal considering the anesthesia, but it was hard to see her throwing up, knowing how that must feel to her tender back. She also has been dealing with a lot of pain. They gave her some stronger stuff than the morphine they had her on this morning. That has seemed to help her.
Anyway, I'm not much of a blogger but I wanted you to know how she is doing. Plus it's a good excuse to post this picture on here when she can't do anything about it...he he he.

I am glad to know you are home and can use your fingers. Hey I wanted to let you know that I am willing to take the days that Amy was going to tend Kylee for you after your Mom is gone. I know she has her hands full. My kids seriously want Kylee to be their little sister. I don't think she would have a chance to be bored at my house. Keep getting better. Love ya!
