Tears

 We both slept for about an hour until the doctors came in and told us they were taking off her bandage. Totally not a great wake-up 😬. 

Jaylia rolled over onto her elbows and knees and did not engage with them at all. They clipped the bandage off from the neck up. Once it was off she sat up and felt her head.  

The shaved strip is wider than either of us expected. She immediately got upset and started crying and whimpering. The doctors said she looked great and left. 

This room I can crawl in bed with her so I did and just held her. Eventually Dr. Taylor came in, he was very encouraging.  He said she could take a shower and take out the braids if she wanted to. He's thinking we'll for sure be able to use our original flight tickets home. 

Her incision does look really good. But she's been in tears a few times this morning. She said she is  worried her sisters and friends will laugh at her, even without her knowing. 

If you want to see a picture please let me know, I'm not posting anything yet because she's so sensitive about it, and I want to be respectful of her.
