Post Surgery - day 6

It has been 6 days since Mia's surgery and she seems to be doing very well. She has been playing with her christmas gifts, coloring & watching movies with her brother and sister. Mia did have alittle fall on Christmas, she was running around the basement at her aunt & uncles place when she slipped and as luck would have it, landed on her head. Mia was in quite a shock as was I. I quickly picked her up and got her upstairs. We put some ice on it but that didn't work out as well as we hoped so a 15 minute drive later and Mia was taking some of her pain medicine. It really takes alot for Mia to ask for pain medicine so we knew that it was hurting pretty good. The next morning Mia told us that she "didn't sleep so good, my head hurt all nite". She didn't wake us up at all even thou she was in so much pain. We told her that if was ever in any pain, wake us up so that we can help her feel better. We took the pain medicine with us for our trip to my dad's, thankfully, she started feeling better and hasn't needed it since.

Mia also received a beautiful bouquet of flowers from her teacher yesterday. That was so sweet, thank you very much. Mia loves to look at them and smell them, she even has a favorite flower because "its so big and sparkly!". Mia carried them from room to room to find the best place to set them, which ended up being the dinning room table.
