Out of the hospital!

Kaley was released from the hospital yesterday (Tuesday) afternoon! Yay!  Her temperature was down to 99.0 and the blood cultures and urine tests came back negative. Her chest x-ray was a little cloudy but okay for being so soon after surgery. The other labs were all normal. She's continuing to eat/drink/poop and started walking around without any assistance during PT. They removed the drain but had to put a suture in (ouch!). The pathology report from surgery verified that it was a fatty lipoma. With all this good news, we were on our way out the door, but did manage to get a picture taken with Miss Moo, the Texas Children's hospital cow.

Overall, yesterday was a pretty busy day!! We are happy to report that we are staying at the hotel for a few more days but should be returning to Kansas Friday afternoon. We just have to check in with the plastic surgeon on Friday to check the incision one last time!

Today (Wednesday), was a pretty quiet day! We hung out around the hotel most of the day except for a couple of trips to Sonic, and adventures to get food for lunch and dinner. Kaley is moving around pretty well. She doesn't like to sit for very long (sitting on sutures can't be very comfortable!), but overall seems to be healing up nicely. We're very excited to be heading home soon!
