Hometime Healing

Carly was discharged this afternoon and we made our family walk back down the hill.  She had a lot of post-operative pain that lasted into the night yesterday and we expected we would need to stay until Sunday, but this morning she was feeling a lot better and we felt ready to return home. She continues to be a bit uncomfortable from her surgery, but we can manage this at home and it should subside over the next few days. While she still needs her NG tube for her feeding, we are hopeful that she will be ready to nurse again soon. Her strength never ceases to amaze me.

Love, Brad
