Healing Nicely!

Well, sorry to keep all of you avid blog readers waiting...

Surgery went great! She went in at 8:20am, released about 9:00am, home with McDonald's pancakes by 9:45am, walking around and playing like normal by 10:30am. Probably the yuckiest part was the drainage that came out of her ears. I didn't take any pictures. Didn't figure that was something ANYONE wanted to see. She goes back in about 10 days to make sure everything still looks good in those ears and that all the fluid/sticky earwax is gone.

This was taken the morning after. I'll let you decide if she looks like she's in any pain/discomfort...

She's "talking" more when she reads. {Who cares if the book is upside down - I think it means she's going to be one creative little girl.}

And she's walking at least 90% of the time now. It took her a few days to get used to the new feeling in her head - it would tip backwards periodically - perhaps due to less weight up there? She's wearing her first nightgown - a gift from mommy & daddy for being SO brave.

Later that day Madelyn and I went to Michael's for the Great Pumpkin Event. It was kind of disappointing - not enough paint and glitter - but we still made a pretty cute {craft} pumpkin.

"M" for Madelyn & Mommy!

Tomorrow Madelyn and I are headed to the Flower Mound Pumpkin Patch. I think it's the best one in the Fort Worth metroplex. We took her last year, so maybe this will become tradition.

Oh - and we'll be watching OU/Texas. Hoping for a GREAT game and victory!
