This morning started off very early with a visit from Dr. Novacheck and the anesthesiologist. They are pleased with how Eliza is doing and told her that the next couple of days will be fairly low key to focus on resting and healing. Thankfully the epidural is doing a good job of pain control. Generally speaking, she seems to feel pretty good. There was a time this afternoon when her pain increased, but additional medications and some ice helped take care of it.
Eliza's had a few guests that helped brighten her days in the hospital so far. A therapy dog, a hospital volunteer that brought crafts and spent time visiting with Eliza, and these two baseball players. I'm sorry to say that I don't know anything about professional baseball and don't know who they are, but they were very nice guys and seemed to really care about the kids in the hospital.
Tomorrow should be another quiet day, followed by a big day on Friday. Her soft casts are scheduled to come off Friday and she'll switch from the epidural to oral pain medications.
That's awesome, what a terrific hospital! Glad to hear she's doing good.
