Improvement

Yesterday Summer and Don had a good recovery day at home. Mid afternoon, Don called me at the office from the bathroom - Summer was splashing around in the tub. He had carefully removed her splint and she was a little nervous. He managed to get her bathed.

When I arrived home from work, Summer was resting on the couch – with her let propped up and an icepack on her knee – sans splint. I asked her about her bath, and she replied with a “smell me!”

She did not require any pain medication during the day yesterday, but we gave her some Advil before bed. She went to bed without the splint, as he has a very hard time sleeping with it on.

She slept most of the night, except for 2-4:30 – she was awake, but not uncomfortable.

I suspect her knee is sprained, but of course we’ll find out more in two weeks with follow up Xrays. We don’t plan to even try to get her to stand on it until at least the weekend.

Summer was delighted to receive a Get Well card from her friend Olivia and her family – along with a colouring book. Thank you also, for the movie library and 254 Sticker collection from Marg, and a few more movies on loan from Kassie.

Thank you very much – Summer (and we) really appreciate your kind gestures.
