Light at the end of the tunnel...

I was right...she HAS turned a corner! Our girl has been up most of the day and seems to be holding up pretty well. She’s still not quite ready to step down to Tylenol, but I anticipate that will happen soon. Her neck is quite swollen...seems blood has pooled and formed a rock hard knot next to her incision. We’re told that’s normal, but she’s a bit uncomfortable and eager for it to dissipate. We’re supposed to take her bandage off on Tuesday if it hasn’t already come off on it’s own, and while it will feel better once it’s off, we’re not looking forward to having to do so. Perhaps soaking it in the shower first will help. We’re still not sure when she’ll get back to school this week. For now it’s still one day at a time in her recovery. But it’s so wonderful to see her smile and be more like her old self again. There’s light at the end of the tunnel for sure.
