Home and Healing

Sporting her new cast

Pre-surgery (notice she is still smiling)


Play area in Shriners Hospital

We got to come home Saturday. Anna had a rough night Friday night. She woke up about 12 a.m. and had a 101.6 fever. They said that if the fever didn't come down we might not be able to come home but thankfully her fever did come down. She did ok on the flight. In the airport waiting we got a lot of stares because of her arms being in cast and a few people asked how she broke both arms. We tried to explain that she had surgery on her mouth and her arms were fine. She has slept ok the last two nights but during the day she is extremely whinny. I know she has gone through a lot the last few days so I'm trying to remain calm. Scott and I have been spoiled the last five months because she has been such an easy baby. Hopefully once she is healed and her arm cast are off, she'll be her happy, normal self. She is fighting eating. She is eating yoguart and a couple of bites of other things but refuses to drink anything right now. I'm just praying everyday will be easier.
