Road to recovery

After a short night of sleep (4 hours) Willow got her appetite back. Popsicles, fig bar, 1/2 muffin and chocolate milk. Her pain has been managed well. She will keep her epidural in till tomorrow. She was fitted for a double brace which caused a little pain. It will be put on later today and she will stay in it for 4 weeks.
   I don't know what I was expecting for a brace but this is much larger than I anticipated. It has a pelvic support and metal down the sides. The gentleman who fitted her gave me small screwdrivers so that gives you an idea. She is bionic girl.
   She has run a fever today up to 101.3 but it has dropped down to 100 as of 4pm. She is not eating great but is sustaining on chocolate milk and snack food. Sarah bought a huge watermelon slice because she loves that and she had 5 bites.
   I feel unprepared for what comes next such as will brace fit in car seat/wheelchair?  but we are taking 1 step at a time.
