Today was a good day! When I arrived after church Joy was happily strapped into the new CPM machine and painlessly bending her knee! WOW!!(Up to 35 degrees already!!!) I brought Grandpa Tom with me, and then Missi, Matt and Megan stopped by. We played Wii (funny trying to teach Grandpa Tom how to bowl!)and had a nice visit.(Love the new glasses Missi!)
We can see the lobby from the 3rd floor window, so we let Megan (6) ride down the elevator by herself to go sit with her daddy. On her second trip down I was standing and waiting to see her emerge below, but instead I hear a terrified scream from inside the closed elevator..."Aunt Heiiiiidiiiii!!!!!" Laughing, I reminded her she had to push the "1" button before she'd go down. Seconds later I saw her emerge and run to her daddy for a much needed hug. Poor baby.
Our guests left as Joy prepared for her first sponge bath. Glad to finally get some of the marker drawings scrubbed off her arms (from International night at school). She played in the activity room for a long time afterwards, even managed to sit completely upright in the wheelchair now that the bar is off the fixator! She was quite pleased with that!
Pin care was done by a different nurse, and was MUCH easier tonight! Hardly a peep out of Joy. Last night's nurse must have been really rough on her. It was a relief to not have to hear the screams.....Joy hardly has a voice today.
She's had a sleeping pill, and finally turned off the T.V. at midnite. Big day tomorrow! Full schedule of PT! Yay!!
