Home and Doing Great

Well, we have been home for 3 days and we are back to work and school, except of Sarah - she is still taking some R&R.  But, she is doing great.  She has has zero pain since coming home and has not needed any pain medicine - just incredible.  Her sisters were very excited to have her back and we needed to keep them at bay and explain that they can't punch/kick her.  Molly is our wild hare we need to keep our eye on.

Sarah and the girls coloring mustaches on boy-band posters!

Beth Ann (Judi's sister) was able to arrange an earlier flight home and she left on Sunday morning.  Thank you Beth for all your help and taking time off from your life to help us with ours.  The girls were great with her and she kept them in their routine where they need to be.  We can't thank you enough!!

Sarah is doing great with no pain and really not any fatigue.  Her incision is looking great - the surgeons are not only scientists, they are artists too (yeah, Dr. Emani!!).  We are going to try doing a half day of school for Sarah starting on Wednesday since she is feeling great and wants to get back in the routine.  The docs say to definitely pull her out half day even if she is feeling fine.  There is usually a lag effect of several hours until the fatigue catches up to her.  So we will monitor this and play it by ear.

Other than that, luckily there is not much to report.  We had a very quiet Easter, just us, and Katie and I actually took about an hour nap with each other - we missed each other and were both tired.  That was nice.  Mom braided Sarah and Katie's hair last night to create a crazy frizz-jair-doo.  So... life is pretty much back to normal!!
