Ava's Surgery

Ava with her "Thumbs-up pose.

When the nurse asked Ava which hand she wanted

her ID tags on, she replied "On my foot." So as

you can see, it's on her leg instead of hand!

Giving George his daily dose of medicine.

Ava waking up from surgery in her "Pink" cast.

(Notice that George has his own ID tag on his

leg too. Where's his pink cast? :)

Ava is finally able to give us the thumbs up. (with her cast for now!) Her surgery was today, and everything went very well. So well, that she did not have to stay the night at the hospital. She got her "PINK" cast and was a trooper through the whole thing. She was so good and happy, until she woke up from surgery and realized that she couldn't take her cast off. I don't think she's adjusted to it yet, she has a hard time running, she kind of leans to one side, it's a little heavy, and she whacked herself with it when she put her arm up. Hopefully she'll get used to it very soon, don't want any other hospital visits. Well the hospital stay went well, getting home was another story. On the way home, it started to downpour, then Ava started to throw-up from her meds. So as I'm driving on the freeway in the pouring rain, and helping Ava not throw up on her cast, I get stuck behind a dip in a new corvette that couldn't drive a stick. Needless to say, he got off on the same exit as me, and he stalled his car three times with me behind him so a 10 minute drive down 168th street ended up taking 25 min. We are ALL happy to be home and spent the afternoon napping and watching movies! :)
