I am getting behind!

I am sorry! This week has flown by. Sorry no pictures tonight, I will see what I can do tomorrow. Ariel is doing awesome. She is starting to wean off of one of her pain meds, having some set backs but getting there. She was up in her chair twice today for about an hour each time. She is bright, smiling and if her attitude is any indication as to how she is doing, we are well on the road to recovery. Our pre-teen attitude has returned with a vengeance. I don't think we are going to start school on time though:( Hopefully she will just be a couple of weeks late in starting. Her incision looks ridiculously awesome. It is humongous but clean, dry and intact as I would note at the hospital. Gotta love no infections of any kind! Bringing her home early, while hard on us, was the perfect decision for her. We saw her surgeon this week and he is very impressed. I got to see the side by side comparison of her before and after x-rays. Very impressive indeed. I think that is it for now. She still isn't making it out at all. Hopefully she will be up to some short outings in the next couple of weeks. She is asking for purple vans for school. I told her she was going to have to go with me to try them on so we are looking forward to feel well enough to do that:) She is up to visitors so anyone that wants to come is welcome:) I will update again soon.
