The swelling has hit and boy did it ever! It is totally normal and should start to go down from here the doctors said during rounds this morning. From this angle the incision site isn't visible, but it looks good so far, and is healing nicely.
She's slowly warming to the idea of hairbands. I ordered a few another cranio mom suggested from amazon to get us started. They'll be delivered to an Amazon box near the hospital tomorrow. I'm hoping it'll help her feel more confident.
Her tablet for some reason won't load Disney+, but they have iPads in the hospital that the kids can borrow, I was able to log in on there and she is happily watching bluey now.
We'll be able to get some walking in today which will help the swelling situation. Working on figuring out what she'd like for breakfast now. Daddy has been able to sleep at the hotel the last two nights, and I've gotten a bit more sleep than at first too. The surgical floor is great, way quieter and there is a couch that folds into a twin size sleeping surface. I slept solidly from 11am-3pm yesterday, totally missed seeing the cutest little therapy dog. But he did cheer up Jay a little.
