Progress

Lily had another traction increase yesterday and the surgery team is confident that she will be ready for the second surgery on Monday!! Her gap is only 4mm right now. She will have one more stretch tomorrow,  and then have the weekend to rest. They've had to increase her sedation and pain meds a couple times because Lily is trying to wake up. Otherwise,  she's doing great and can't wait to get on with the next step!

We did a few fun things this week. On Tuesday,  Joe, Rose, Cora and I went to the New England Aquarium.  It was pretty cool! The interactive exhibits were closed still, but we saw some really amazing animals. One of the highlights was a huge sea turtle. Rose enjoyed it, but her attention span might be a little short for this kind if thing, haha.

Yesterday was my birthday. I had a fun morning at a park with Rose and Cora while Joe was with Lily. Joe surprised me with flowers, chocolate, and cider (what a guy). We went out for dinner to Guy Fieri's Tequila Cocina for tacos and margaritas (well joe had a beer). It was delicious! We had cake for dessert and watched a movie. It was a great birthday! Oh and today is opening day for baseball, so that's great too 😁
