Post-op Day #4. 6/21/24


Braylee had a good night, only having to get up and go to the bathroom 4 times. She woke up and wanted to try some breakfast. She had a couple spoonfuls of yogurt, spoonful of pudding and tried a few other things but then said she was full. Physical therapy came by and did a little work with her and got her up and moving around.  She took a good nap after and then was pretty awake around 2 pm-ish. Since she was so awake it was time to take a shower. She felt soooo much better after that shower. She stayed awake until around 9:30 so that was the longest stretch of her being awake all week! 

She got a little nauseous this afternoon so we stopped her tube feeds and she will start those back up tonight. She tried to eat some chicken Alfredo that was really soft but it still hurts to chew, even the diced canned peaches were too much. So we ordered her some tomato soup and she was able to get about 10 spoonfuls in. It's progress and that's all we hope for each day is  a little progress. 

They'll stop her tube feeds again in the morning and hopefully she'll have a great appetite for breakfast and we can look at hopefully getting the feeding tube out sometime soon. 
Her swelling has decreased so much and she's looking great!! We saw a small glimpse of her spunky/sassy self. Which was so great to see after these long trying days, a little light was good for our hearts. 

Baby steps, but she's getting there. We're just here to follow her lead.
