It’s hard to believe that fifteen days have passed since Emily’s surgery. We’ve begun to hit some recovery-related milestones…drumroll…
She was cleared for soft foods! Well, some soft foods. Here she is having her first sort of solid meal since before the surgery – fried rice and lo main from the hospital cafeteria. It was extremely soft and overcooked..thus, it was perfect! She ate it all up.
A shot of her in yet another dentist’s chair. This is a bit of a sentimental one for me though – it was the room where she regularly got her NAM adjustments when she was a baby. She really can’t help posing like this when a camera is pointed at her.
Looking coy? I’m so glad to see her sense of humor is intact and her silliness is as strong as ever. She’s such a bunny.
Here are the girls in front of Jim’s garden. He wanted me to zoom in on the garden, but the kids were cuter.
We did end up going to Chuck E. Cheese and it wasn’t as horrible as I thought it would be. This smile from Emily was really worth the entire trip. She can’t do much this summer, and it was really great seeing her have fun.
So a few other milestones besides the soft food – today she lost her last stitch from the surgical site in her mouth – she was so excited! It was like she’d lost a tooth or something. She’s also been cleared to take baths again (she was only allowed showers while her hip healed) and she can play Just Dance! She’s not allowed to jump around though, but she can dance around. I also think she grew about a half inch in the last couple of months – if you notice in that picture with Ana, she’s looking a bit stretched. Almost ready for second grade!
