The Goodwins » Surgery http://thegoodwins.info .......... Sharing life with Kirk, Bonnie, Ella and Justice .......... Fri, 22 Oct 2010 21:17:45 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc en hourly 1 Life Goes On http://thegoodwins.info/2009/04/29/life-goes-on http://thegoodwins.info/2009/04/29/life-goes-on#comments Wed, 29 Apr 2009 14:58:21 +0000 Kirk http://thegoodwins.info/?p=468 Ella is doing a bit better.  After several crying spells last night she’s doing better.  Her right eye is still swollen  shut but she’s starting to be able to see out of her left eye.

I left her, after several goodbye kisses and hugs, as seen in the picture to the right, watching Veggietales, eating bananas and juice.

Bonnie tells me she’s still in good spirits and has been playing like her normal self.

I’m back in the office dealing with crises, crisii?, multiple crisis-es?, well lets say multiple issues, but they seem a bit less dire for some reason.

Ah, life goes on….

She’s had some juice and cheerios but is otherwise against food so hopefully we can get a good meal when we get home. We are just waiting on her meds to be ready at the pharmacy and then we can head out.

She is in isolation due to diarrhea. The good news is that means she gets a private room the bad news is that she could have a bug of some kind. It’s possible that it’s due to the antibiotic she received during surgery. So they are keeping an eye on her.

Of course this means we are definitely staying overnight.

Ella received Morphine after surgery so she’s still asleep.

We will update more when we know more.

He said that she will have a nice hairline, that her brows are looking symetrical and that eventually the visible scaring will be minimal… She will come back in two weeks to the have the rear sutures out.

Justice and I are waiting for Kirk and Ella In her room – it’s I’m the same recovery area as many other patients but we scored real walls and a door so maybe she and I might actually get a little sleep tonight.

Thanks for the love and prayers!
