Day 4 (Thursday)

Okay this is going to be hodge-podged together because I'm not remembering anything hahaha.

Went back to Primary's and everyone was still asleep. I woke T up and sent him back to the hotel to let him shower and get ready. It was our last bit at the hotel and so we used it up!! :) Lexi was startled when she was woken up by nurses and sat straight up - totally didn't register her back pain and didn't know where she was....and then she froze cuz it hurt so bad! Luckily the pain seems to be on the mend?!?!

My dad had to go into work in SLC so my mom came and was just in the hospital room with us for a bit yesterday.

Nurses said Lexi needed a couple hours of oxygen during the night (not a huge deal, just documenting) to help her out from the narcotics and pain meds they'd been pumping her with.

My cousin Ryan and his girlfriend Micah came to visit. They're sweet and brought her a bear and another balloon. (Lexi and her balloons = hehehehehe)

We had to do a suppository on Lexi yesterday (helps her have a bowle movement) to help her feel better since she wasn't eating as well as she should be. That helped.

Lexi also had her first OT session (about 20 min). She played ball. Her second OT session was also about 20 minutes, and we did the shape sorter and then more ball!

We've visited the play room a few times and she LOVES the Barbie dollhouse. It's definitely more difficult to play Barbies in the dollhouse when you're in a wheelchair but that doesn't stop her.

Lexi doesn't have much volume control so she's LOUD. :-) I think that's an understatement.

She still complains of her righty foot and leg being up and getting bigger and bigger. All sensory issues and sensations from the surgery. It will get better.

My parents left to go back to Iowa yesterday as well. It was such a blessing to have them there with us! Wish they could've stayed longer!

Last night, Lexi was feeling GOOD! We got her in her wheelchair and surprised Daddy!!! :) Then we went to the playroom. It was fairly short lived but BOOYA! she had an absolute blast!

We were lucky and got a mini-Ronald McDonald room at the RMcD Family Room and Terrell was able to sleep in an actual bed last night!!!

Lexi also let me lay next to her and SNUGGLE for a bit! <3 <3  It was great! Terrell and I played PS3 (which we brought from home hehe) and she just snuggled and watched. It was great.

Hopefully I got something written there....kind of short sentences and slapped together but that's okay!
