2 weeks later Stephi is finally well enough to see her kids. She asks about them constantly and I'm sure she has been worried about them as most moms would be. She was waiting to get a few bandages off and a few tubes out before having them brought down. I didn't get to be there for the reunion, but I heard it took about 15 minutes for Christopher (7) and Olivia (3) to get used to their mommy's new makeover. Olivia is a mommy's girl so I cannot imagine what must have been going through her little head. Christopher is a 7 year old little boy who can usually adapt to "whatever" in seconds. Auntie Sara gets to see them tonight so I'm sure they will give me their version :)
She is moving well these days and adapting to her new room on a general surgical floor. She is most excited about the fact that there is actually a wall between her toilet and her bed. LOL. She has a private room and bathroom so she was also excited about that. Stephi still continues to have lots of family filtering in and out daily, and we are all making sure that she is doing what she is supposed to be doing.
Surgery to replace the right bone flap is still scheduled for tomorrow at 7:30 am. Hopefully there will not be any more bumps in the road before that. I know she is rallying to try to get back to the Wausau area by next week. Time will tell. She gets frustrated, bored, and bummed out very easily these days. It has been a long road for her, but we keep trying to reassure that she has already been through the worst of it. The next few weeks will require a lot of time, patience, and practice, and we will all continue to be there for her!
