Yesterday and today

We left the hospital Monday evening.  So we've now had two days at Mom and Dad's.  The progress she's made in these two days is remarkable.

Yesterday she could barely sit in her booster seat.  We added a towel because she was leaning to the right.  Today she's sitting just fine.

Yesterday she sat and played on a blanket, reaching for toys, but hesitant to move.

This morning, we went to a physical therapy appointment and they let us borrow a walker for her.  After walking with it several times today, this evening she decided to walk 20 feet by herself!  I was right there to catch her because her balance isn't great yet.  But, wow!!!  She's also standing on her own and cruising around the couches.  

Yesterday we got her outside a little bit.  Today we took her for a walk.  Must feel so good after 20 days indoors.

Yesterday she got to spend the whole day with her daddy, but today he had to leave.  Being with daddy is cause for smiles.  Because her right side is still weak, she has a crooked smile which is just adorable.  

Elsie is eating well, sleeping well, happy at play, and sitting still for books and snuggles.  These two days have been filled with steady uphill progress.  All I can say is "Wow! Way to go, little lady!"  

(BTW, the bandanna is to help prevent her from itching her incision. It was her Dad's idea, isn't it cute?  She usually grabs for it first.)
