Staples Are Out!

 AC and her 25 Webkinz!!!

We made the trip to see Dr. Boydston on Thursday.  AC got her staples taken out.  She did great and didn't cry at all!  What a trooper!  It is hard to believe that the surgery was 2 weeks ago.  Anna Cate had a list of questions for Dr. B.  She's been cleared to ride her bike in 3-4 days but cannot jump on the trampoline at all.  He said he'd check her out in six weeks and go from there. We go back on November 19th.

We started homebound school on Friday.  Dr. B. said that she had to stay out until she was caught up and was able to stay awake at school all day.  Her teacher will come to the house 3 hours a week to work with her one on one.   Her teacher said she was pretty much on track and just needed to catch up on a few things.  We are looking at going back to school on October 26th.  She might need to only stay 1/2 a day at first but we can work our way up to a full day.  We are both going to have some separation anxiety when she goes back to school.  It will be like Pre-K all over again!

AC is pain-free, and more importantly, pain medicine free.  I asked her on a scale of 1-10 what her pain was before the surgery and she said it was a 10 all the time.  I asked her what she was now...she said a zero!   She also said that she can see without her glasses now.  I am still skeptical about that....we'll be making a trip to the eye doctor after our November follow-up appointment.

We are so thankful that the worst part is behind us and can't wait for AC to recover and get back to a normal life.
