Day Two Post Surgery

 
Please keep in mind that I am not a doctor and have no medical background. I am just writing based on my experiences and occasionally I may get things wrong.


Early in the morning Dr. Vin came to visit us and check in on Isa. He said everything was going well and since she had been taking ibuprofen and a prescription strength Tylenol as opposed to morphines she could go home.

After the quick but a bit painful removal of the IV Isa was discharged with a prescription for the same prescription Tylenol she had been taking and for ibuprofen. Her follow up appointment would be at the end of the month.

We quickly gathered all of our belongings and headed home with the exception of a quick stop to pick up the prescription and some ibuprofen. Isa was in pain when we picked up her prescription so as soon as I had the medicine in hand she took it and feel asleep.

Once we arrived home Jon took a much needed nap as I watched both kiddos. Thankfully Isa was in very good spirits and even requested we go out for frozen yogart, another recent favorite of hers. So as soon as Jon woke up we got her ready and headed out. It was so reasurring to see her up to going out and quite frankly it blew my mind that just two days previous she had had surgery.

We went to the frozen yogart and a quick stop to Target to pick up thank you cards. She did well but as soon as we were done she was ready to get back on the couch and rest.

Once we arrived home she rested watching tv and coloring and then headed to bed. Since we didn't have her table situation all figured out yet we all had dinner in the living room with her. Suprisingly she slept all through the nigh :) and I was able get some much needed sleep as well.
