First Day at Home

The day was hard for me (Gerri), but Gabriela is thriving. She is walking as she can and playing for short amounts of time before she lays down (on the floor or wherever) to rest a bit. Her fever is gone, no shortness of breath and her lips are a beautiful pink color! She has a great appetite, so hopefully that will help her gain some weight back. She is back to signing and trying to speak normally, except her voice is still pretty hoarse. She isn't quite as smiley as she was, but she grinned big when she saw her siblings last night. She slept for 12 hours in her bed without waking up and I slept a solid night too. This morning was tough trying to keep her from overdoing it or getting bumped (she is on sternum precautions for 6 weeks). Thankfully David was able to come home from work early to help out. I can't imagine how I would have made dinner tonight, so I am extremely grateful for the meal that was provided to us. Thank you! I've got a few ideas of how to make tomorrow go more smoothly. I'm sure each day will get easier as I get rested and organized and she get stronger. I'll post some pictures tomorrow after another night of sleep!
