Things are looking up

We were able to bring Abby home from the hospital late Monday night. Since yesterday was her first day home, it was our day to figure things out. We moved her bed into the master bedroom so that we can be close to her during the night. She is also able to watch tv and movies in our room. Josh moved the Wii upstairs too so she can also play that. We are doing everything that we can to keep her comfortable and happy. She is a good little patient unless her pain medicine is wearing off or we have to get her up to go potty. Then her pain keeps her from being our usual sunny little girl. :-(

She really appreciates the many well wishes she has gotten from everyone. I keep telling her, "Even people you don't really know are thinking of you" and she likes that. Last night she got a visit from our friends/neighbors (Matt, Mike and Tom) who brought her all sorts of goodies to cheer up and keep her busy.

Here is Abby playing her new Wii game that the guys brought her:

And here she is with her balloon (which she loves!):

We are still working on figuring everything out. So far, so good. It's stressful though as we work out it all out. I want to be able to fix everything and have it be easy for everyone, but that's not always possible.

Here are some photos I took of her Saturday before she broke her leg. I have to admit it makes me teary-eyed to see her standing in these and know that they next day she broke her leg. This was a new outfit from Grandma that she got for Christmas.

  3. Wow! She sure is lucky to have to you there for her. She really does have it made up there it looks like. It stinks when it has to be because of a n illness or broken leg.

    I hope she is back up soon and moving around like she normally does.

    Phooey on the ice I say.
