When I packed clothes to come to the hospital, I packed for summer, as in no socks or long pants. Although it is summer, it's chilly in here and I have to go outside to warm up. :)
Avery's incision area had enough infection that you can still see the sternum when they change the wound-vac dressing. I guess it's still pretty big (not that I plan on seeing it at all, ick). I didn't realize this last week, but on a good note, it's moving along in the right direction- slowly. I don't know when she'll be off the wound-vac. I'm thinking Avery will still be here all next week. I hate to think I'll have to dry pack the incision at home (I'm not very good with looking at things like that), but home is good.
I'm reading a book called, "My Antonia" by Willa Cather. It takes place back in the pioneer days and early settlements of the west/mid-west. Anyhoo, I'm struck by the physical hardships they dealt with on a daily basis. We have it so easy by comparison. I may get upset if I can't log onto the computer, and they seemed content to sit and watch the wind blow the tall grass on the hill. What do we do with our free time?
Our house will be getting new windows later next week. How exciting! The old ones were the main drawback I had on selecting this house. Hopefully Eric can get some photos up here to share with you. ;) In the words of "Annie", "I think I'm gonna like it here."

Renae - I am happy to hear Avery is doing better and smiling again! You are doing a great job being there for her and standing up for her. Trust your doctors but also trust yourself. You, and only you, have mother's intuition for her. Hang in there. Lindsay Wetzel
I studied Willa Cather in college. Interesting woman. But an outstanding writer. I hope you enjoy it. Enjoy that beautiful little girl! She is so precious! And before you know it, you will be taking her to school. I love to hear that she, and your family, are doing great!
Take care,
Jessica (Kobylecki) Mullenix
