Second Day post surgery

Kaylie had a decent day yesterday following her surgery. She woke up early and was singing, talking, and was able able to eat a little. There were times where pain was an issue for her, but who wouldn't after major brain surgery. 

I think one I the toughest things for her right now is not being able to use the left side. She gets very frustrated, very frustrated that her left arm and leg doesn't do what she wants. Kaylie asked Leanne to help her, because her leg wasn't moving.

One more frustrating thing for Kaylie is having to use the restroom in a diaper, she hates wearing and use a diaper. She is starting to realize it's ok and that we will help her get clean.

Last night, was a difficult night as well. We are starting to realize that when and if Kaylie sleeps, that we need to sleep as well. Starting to get a little exhausted. Thankful for coffee!

We woke up to a sunny room, always grateful for another day! Kaylie's diaper had over run into the bed, so we helped her get clean and new bedding. She ate two bowls of cheese grits and a blueberry yogurt for breakfast.

Kaylie is getting physical therapy as I write this. 


We know the road of therapy and recovery is long, but she is already doing so good! We got her to sit at the end of the bed and lean on her left arm.


Thank you for your prayers! Will try and update later today!
