Home again home again jiggity jig

Anara was discharged around 9AM this morning. She has had a pretty good day. She had a difficult time walking at first and now walks like she is riding a horse. She also fell off the couch at one point and was unable to right herself. We are going to give her a nice dose of Tylenol with codeine before bed tonight. She has a supra pubic tube again and also a Foley coming out of her stoma. The tubes are open to drain inside a diaper in order to avoid putting any pressure on the incision. We are irrigating her three times a day to keep mucous from building up and prevent stone formation or infection. We would really like this to have been her last surgery (until her preteen years).

Violet spent her day taking care of her baby dolls. She has a big baby with a mouth that fits the bottle. This little baby's mouth is not quite big enough for the bottle so Violet decided that this baby needed to be nursed. I had to sneak these pictures because she is surprisingly modest. She used her shirt to cover herself while she was nursing and asked me to help her button her shirt as soon as she finished. She acted kind of embarrassed and shy about the whole thing.
