10.12.17 Aimee is back

Yesterday was a real day. Well, aside from being stuck inside, having to use gloves to touch Aimee, and the boys not being allowed to interact with her at all. This time of year, we would typically bundle her up in a heated jacket, heat packs in her wool socks, and a poncho over her head to go outdoors. Right now we are keeping her in her bedroom and being as careful as possible to keep her strong and healthy. It is a bit sad to be sitting here all day when we normally would be working outdoors in the cool sunshine. Sad to let the rest of garden go and the outdoor chores sit undone. 

However, it is worth it and working. Yesterday, Aimee was back! She played! And she laughed! And then she cried. It was a normal type of Aimee day. She commonly will have this type of pattern. Like an infant, she will play and laugh enthusiastically until she is worn out. Then she is grumpy and complains/mildly cries until we can get her calmed to sleep. She is an emotional, passionate person. She is full of life and radience. And it is so good to see that her spark is back. 

Tomorrow we will work with the surgical nurses over the phone to figure out all the pre-procedure plans, the equipment that is needed on hand at the hospital, and the time schedule for Tuesday's surgery. I will update with the details when I have them.
