3 Days Post-surgery

Anna continues to do well. She is tolerating the arm restraints amazingly well. She wears them all day and night and rarely even notices them. Now, the diet is a different story!! She HATES the liquid diet...... and that syringe?? She hates it even more! Today we have not even picked the syringe up! It just makes her mad to see it. She is drinking everything from an open mouth cup. Today she has had pediasure, a vanilla shake from McDonalds, and pudding mixed with half and half. Getting food in her has been a huge struggle. She is not accepting food from me very well at all. In fact, tonight she ate the pudding that I gave her and that is the first time she has taken food from me since Thursday. As far as how she is feeling....she seems to be healing nicely. She doesn't seem to be in pain. (She only cries when we try to feed her.) Her activity level is normal. We think we may be hearing some new sounds from her...no real words, of course, but we like hearing new sounds. So, prayer requests?? First, that she will do better with her food and allow me to feed her. Second, that her mouth will heal perfectly and no holes will open back up in her palate. (That is why we have a liquid diet and the arm restraints) We see her surgeon on Tuesday AM and are hoping that he will say everything looks great! I will be sure to post after that appointment. Thank you for your prayers.
