Seven Snippets Sunday - Surgery Update

 
---1---
 
I apologize for not posting recently. This past week was a busy one for us. Tennyson had a few rough days at the beginning, but she has been an angel for these last three days. Two weeks down, two to go. We're finally in a good routine, and she's back to sleeping well.

I have been pleasantly surprised at how quickly Tennyson has healed and adjusted to the casts. I had prepared for her to be out of school for at least two weeks, but she started back this past Wednesday. She went for two hours the first day and did well, so she went for four hours on Thursday and Friday. She loved getting out of the house and seeing her teachers and friends. I didn't want her diaper to show, so she got to wear skirts and dresses. She looked SO adorable.

The beanbag has worked out OK. Somehow the bag I put the beans in tore and so we have been leaving a trail of beans wherever we take it. How annoying. We sent Tenn to school with the beanbag chair in the wagon, and while she looks like a little princess being pulled into school, it really isn't supporting her the way she needs it to. We'll have to try something different tomorrow when we take her to school.

This is what she looks like rolling into school (she's out on a walk in this picture, she goes to school in a skirt or a dress).

(the blanket under her knees is to make sure she doesn't have too much pressure on her heels and get pressure sores)

Tennyson is completely off her medicines she went home from the hospital on. I anticipate we will need them again once her casts come off, but for now, it's been wonderful to have her sweet personality back. The meds made her so sleepy. Her eyes would roll around and she couldn't stay awake long enough to focus on anything.

I have another set of hands in the house! Tennyson's Aunt T moved in this week. I am beyond grateful that she moved across the country to live with us. We are so happy she's here, and Tennyson adores her Aunt T.

Tenny's cute outfit on her first day back to school. She's not a fan of the camera flash, so her eyes are closed - oh well, still cute!
