Post Surgery

Day one following surgery went really well.  Kassi is one tough cookie.  She even ate a grilled cheese sandwich for supper.  The doctor had said she needed to drink at least 15 oz of fluid a day otherwise she would get dehydrated.  Yesterday she drank 25 oz! 

This morning started out a little harder.  Which the doctor had warned us about.  He said the second morning is the hardest, because they are the driest on that morning.  Due to the doctor saying that 1 in 10 kids gets nausea from the codeine Kassi refuses to take it.  So this morning was hard until she started drinking and then things got better.  By 11 she had already drank 20 oz!!  She also ate some of a waffle.  She is one tough cookie.

I took two weeks off from work, just in case and I am not sure that I am going to get to actually take them off.  She is doing so well.  We do have to keep her home and rested for one whole week.  They warn that between 5 and 10 days they will lose their scabs and begin to bleed.  So we have to watch for this, but otherwise I think things are going excellently.
