Post-Op Day 5 - Hannah is home!!

Last night was a bit rough.  Hannah was very fussy and crying to suck her finger.  It is so hard not to let her soothe herself in the way she has her whole life.  She is not allowed to suck on anything for two weeks post-op due to the repaired tear in the outer layer of her brain.  It is so sad to see her upset, but we certainly don't want to have a repeat trip to the OR to repair another dura tear.  T-minus two weeks until finger sucking can commence!

Somebody was tired this morning after all that fussing last night.

This morning we received great news!  Hannah received her discharge orders.  The Neuro team is very pleased with Hannah's progress.  She is still slow moving but is starting to return to being herself.  We left the hospital around 11:30 and were home by lunch.  She took a nice nap in her own bed this afternoon.  Now, we are soaking up all the Dora and Minnie we can get our hands on.  She is also enjoying her favorite snack...broccoli!!  We are all happy to be home!   God is so good!

For those wondering, we will see both surgery teams in two weeks for follow-up.  In six weeks, Hannah will have a MRI to make sure there is no evidence of the tumor.  Additional imaging will be determined after the pathology reports are back (hopefully by the end of this week).

We are out of here!
