A very good day

We found out that M-F the Child Life team puts on a Bingo game on the TV channel in the hospital at 2pm. So we got her Bingo cards, and played two rounds! Jaylia won three prizes just before it was time to leave for her CT scan. She doesn't mind imaging, so hopped right up and talked to herself/sang the whole time. 

We then got to go to the Ryan Seacrest Studio in the hospital. She picked out three fun prizes, a fidget, a yo-yo, and some squishy things. 

We got back to the room, and she ate her pizza lunch. Then the doctor on the floor came in, showed us her CT, and said the plastics team was pleased and we could be discharged! 

So we packed up and got her meds from the pharmacy (just Tylenol and an otc antibiotic ointment!), ate dinner, showered Jay, the nurse took out her IVs, and out we went! 

Good news, her friend C was able to discharge today too! 🙌

We Lyfted back to the hotel. Walking back into the room with my girl, we had left with just 5days earlier made me very emotional. She went through a life changing event and we were just back to the hotel a "short" 5 days later. Jon and I are both amazed, thankful, worried, overwhelmed, exhausted, and loved!  We love our sweet girl so very much! Your love for her and us and your messages and support has helped sustain us so much during this journey! 

I will write more about the specifics of the surgery later or if you have questions feel free to message me, but for now, here is a screenshot of one of her CT images. It's safe to say I'm feeling very helicopter mom over her for the next few weeks especially, and even months while the new bone grows, heals, and hardens.

But for tonight, I am thankful to sleep in a normal bed, and wake up when we want, and not have vital checks every 4 hours! 

We are looking forward to a bit more sightseeing before we fly home on Wednesday. I'll make sure to share what we do!!
