Kintropy In Action

Up on night watch, waiting to add food to Hannah's Kangaroo pump.  I think the 2nd or 3rd day post-surgery is the most painful & irritating, and Hannah would probably agree.  She's having a hard time getting & staying comfortable. 

We've been through the Tylenol, saline mist (keep her throat and mouth from getting too dry & uncomfortable), the diaper change, the singing, and a quick new blanket to keep the bed fresh.  I noticed a little color in the bed around her mouth, probably from loosening stitches and/or reduction in swelling allowing things to flow a bit.

Overall, I think she is doing okay.  During the evenings before bed, she's playing, giggling, and staying active.  We're hoping that, post healing, the nights and sleep also improve.  For everyone.  Parents included!

Gabriel is being a champ, helping entertain Hannah when the surgery & recovery turn the cranky up to 11.  His last day at school as a 1st grader was yesterday, so he is, I'm sure, celebrating the start of summer vacation.

Will write more soon & flow back into story mode.  Lots to share from the last few months, and I'm sure we'll be out adventuring this weekend for Father's Day.
