Friday, May 26 Update

Willa's surgery went very smoothly today. It only lasted two hours instead of the 4.5 hours estimated. She was awake and standing within two hours afterwards, and ate a snack, small lunch, and dinner. Willa walked around the entire floor five hours post surgery, and her pain level at the incision is about a 4 out of 10. There's even a chance she'll be discharged tomorrow afternoon if she maintains this level of recovery. She's spending a lot of time on FaceTime and Roblox with her friends, which is a great distraction. We were up at 4:00 this morning, so I'm wiped out, but she's going strong, albeit with some pain. We've reassured her that it will get better, and regaled her with stories of our injuries when she complains that we don't know how she's feeling. 😉 Love to you all!❤️ -Jody
