Good news, Reese was allowed to go to her "normal" recovery room this morning. Her belly was really bloated as a result of the anesthesia but that is very normal for anyone who has to go under during surgery. The personel were waiting for her to finally dirty her diaper & she complied around 1am this morning.
Kim stayed with Reese in the ICU last night but both were able to get a decent night's rest. Since she has beeen in her regular room, her personality is returning to normal. We've been playing with stuffed animals, playing hide & seek, & she is loving her new balloons that were sent to her room. We have gotten her to smile finally but she still does not dig seeing the nurses & dr's come towards her.
Kim & I have been able to hold her regularly but we get pretty tangled up in all of the lines, tubes. etc. Our cardiologist came by this morning to check her diaper count & see how her belly's doing, he is very happy with the results. He said that the surgeon should be by sometime today to take out her drain tube. Doc said that once that is out, she will feel 100% better than she does right now.
Listen to me going on & on, I'm starting to sound like Kim.
Thanks for your prayers, gifts, meals, etc, we have been truly blessed to share this "experience" with each of you.

Everything you mention- the good and the bad- is such a flashback to our time there with Macy. For months afterwards, Macy would panic if she saw anyone dressed in scrubs!
I am so glad to hear that Reese is starting to feel more like herself. We continue to pray for Reese and your entire family. Thanks for updating us!
