Day 3 post operation

I'm going to be able to get so much stuff done while Hailey is at the hospital! That idea quickly got smashed 24 hours after she came out of surgery. Each day is filled with doctor visits, occupational therapy, physical therapy, walking, going to the potty, medicines, vitals, x-rays, it's almost a constant cycle of stop and go. 

Hailey is doing great. The only tubes she's has coming out of her body is the chest tube, the IJ (it's like an IV in her neck) heart rate monitors and an oximeter. 

Getting her IV line taken out. Poor kid has so many IV bruises on her. 

We went on a few walks today and you are basically back to your normal self. You woke up with a smile on your face and I immediately knew that it was goin to be to be a better day. 


The x ray machine comes everyday. 
We made a little witch to scare the nurses on duty...hee hee. 
Spending some play time on the couch by the window. 

Talking to Nathan and Hannah at the end of the day. 

There's a good chance that you get to go home tomorrow. Everything depends on how well your chest tube is draining. 

We are so proud of you! You are a fighter, eating your veggies and getting up and doing your exercises are so important right now and you are rocking it all. 

Next post will be when we get to go home.
