Day Two Post-op

Today was another big day for Natalia. She began eating a little more, and moved to oral meds. Physical therapy included standing, taking a few steps and then sitting up in a chair! Natalia was amazing, and really did most of it herself even though she didn't think she could! Grandpa Bill, Uncle Mike and Nevan stopped by for a brief visit today too. Tomorrow morning they hope to remove the catheter and have her walking a bit more. She will get measured to see how much she grew! Thinking she's pretty close to eye to eye with mom now. Hoping for a good night!

Great progress! She does look tall compared to the PT and sure looks taller sitting in the chair. I hope today brings more progress, so you all can come home soon.
