She had a really good night last night. She sat at the table to eat dinner, but then had some sharp pains, so she went back to our bed to relax. We gave her some pain medication, she took a little nap, then suddenly she was up and walking around everywhere! Kept telling her to take it easy so she doesn't get incredibly sore when the meds wear off. She kept telling me "I'm fine." She finally fell asleep in our bed, then Ben moved her to her room. We found her this morning on the couch. She said she got up in the middle of the night to lay on the cool couch. She seems to be doing GREAT! Ben made breakfast and Felicia ate a pancake and at least one piece of bacon. WOW That's a lot of solid food for her. She hasn't eaten that much all weekend! And she's moving around really good saying that she doesn't have too much pain! YAY!!!

Glad to hear she is doing better. By the pictures she looks to have been taking it all in stride and seems to be handling it well.

Tell her I said she has a great "What I did this summer" story to share when she gets back to school.

((hugs))

Holy Cow! Miss a day or two of blogging and I've missed all your excitement! I'm so glad that everything went well and that Felicia is doing ok! She is such a sweetheart, I'm sure they did love her there! Great prizes and a cute little scar to remember the scary experience! She'll have a great "What I did this summer..." to write!

I'm so glad Felicia is doing better. I can't imagine how scary it would be to watch a child go through that. I'm glad it's over for all of you - now just time to heal.

She looks great for having been so ill. Glad that she is doing better each day. FYI...she will eat alot the next few days, but will start taper off more the anethisia (I know MS) wears off and the less pain meds she takes. Glad that your little sweetheart is home.

BTW she made out more than any other child that I know. Tell her congrats for her prize winnings.
