We walked to church (had a great time), then walked to Wendy's for lunch and met friends there (had the second great time of the day), and then walked home to lounge about and do not too much of anything. We got little things done, but nothing too exciting. We were all pretty happy, too.
It seems Piper is all back to normal these days. Yesterday she was a little fussy, but today seems to be "normal". She's awake for good chunks of time and is usually fairly pleasant to be around. She seems to be completely recovered from Friday's angiogram. Matt gave her a bath tonight (seriously, one of her favorite things in the whole wide world) and she splashed like crazy. As he was drying her off, her little steri-strips just slipped right off. We could see a wee little poke mark where they put the catheter in, but it really just looks like a bug-bite. There is a little bruising, but nothing like what the doctor warned us about (he really thinks its gonna show all kinds of freaky colors). So far, so good.
She has a bit of a throaty cough, which, even during the course of the day, has gotten better. Apparently thats from the anesthetic (pretty heavy duty stuff, even for wee babies). She just gets lots of big pats on the back now to really dislodge that stuff.
Oh, and we let her go in her Jumperoo today and that seemed to have made her day!
She is quite a wiggly/bouncy baby. She can really move. That makes me a little nervous for her surgery recovery time as she won't be able to roll around much for a while, nor crawl (if she is doing that by then). Hmmm... Maybe I won't think about that right now.
Right now, I'll think about my perfectly happy baby (perfectly happy because she is sleeping), and all that we've come through all ready. Right now, I am choosing not to dwell on the "later" parts of this adventure. They'll come when they come. Right now, I am unusually tired, but also content with most aspects of my life. Right now, I am so blessed.
Here are the two buddies staring out at the street, keepin' an eye on our hood. (and yes, the cat does whack the camera)
Sunday afternoons with the family are my favourite! I'm glad she's feeling back to normal, and that you've accomplished one hurdle in this journey.
ReplyDeleteI think that's a great idea to just focus on the "now" for now, and deal with the "later" when it gets here! I think Cheyenne and Piper will be great friends.. they already have so much in common! Cheyenne could stare out the window all day, and is definitely a fan of jumping!
