HomeSweetHome

Sarah Came home a while ago :)
and well she is doing very well! she has gone for walks and is eating food and such :)
we went out for dinner the other day and she came and was really good, she sat most of the time and only had to go for two little walks :)

Just the other day she blacked out in the shower and fell over! which scared the shit out of me! and after shaking on the ground for like 10 second she came to.
She has to memory of falling or how she got to the ground :/ which scared me even more, but i caught her as she fell and i laid her on the ground very slowly so nothing was hurt :)

My Visit :)

Yesterday was my day to spend with Sarah :) we had a nice day! she slept for the most part :) we (mostly me) watching a few movies, Where the wild things are, Igor, and pirates of the Caribbean 3 at worlds end :) and then we watched some TV. Her aunt and uncle came and visited us for a while :) which gave me a little break :) she walked in the morning before i got there so she could just relax during the day :)

i didn't have to do much other then get her freezies, feed her jell-o and make sure her breathing was above 93, if i went below it would beep and i would have to put her breathing mask back on her :(
i didn't like it but it was easier on her :)

All and all it was a good day, now here's the bad part :( we, being myself, Joe, Abby,Owen and my room mate Claire went to check into the hotel, we got there and we couldn't check in.. I will not say why we couldn't for personal reasons, but none the less we could not check into our room.
while her mum and dad were trying to check us in i was back at sick kids taking care of my sick kid. then sadly at 9:48 i was told that my journey had come to and end and we where going home :( so i had to leave Sarah, get in the car and drive home.

needless to say no one was happy :/

Steps :)

I just got word that Sarah just walked down the hall of Ward 5A :) and she is now resting in  chair :)
Her pain is still about a 5 out of 10

Day 2 :)

:) thanks to everyone who read my blog yesterday, you guys are great!

So here's the news :) i got a text this morning at about 8:56am and it said that Sarah was sitting up and eating frezzies :) yesterday she never got to drinking because she felt sick to her tummy :( but she got eat white, peach and red freezies. so she is getting into the habit of eating now, which is a good thing :) she has been napping most of the morning and last night i talked her into listening to Final Destination because her eyes still aren't working just right and she was seeing double. Today i think she will be able to have a drink and watch a moive :)

Oh before i forget today is the day when her parents change places :) her mum has been then since the day of her surgery and she is coming home and her dad is coming up there to stay with her :)

Tomorrow is the day when i get to go and see her =D

degrees of Sarah's spine :)

 Dr. Zeller :) (that was the docter preforming the operation) talked to us after the surgery and he told us that during the surgery he took Sarah's spinel degree from 65 degrees to 3 degrees :) which means he moved her spine 62 degrees :) which i must say is pretty amazing :) her spine is almost perfectly straight :)

now at Sick Kids there are these dry erase boards in each room and your can write stuff on them for your kids. Her dad wrote her on the board and it said that she is as "Straight As An Arrow :) which is where the name of my blog came from :)

day 1 :)

today is the first day post operation :) and it has gone really well :)  Sadly i am not with her right now :( i have to work :( so i am getting updates via text from her mum :) and today she got out of bed and sat for 1 hour on a chair :) which is good and she also took her first steps :) she gets to drink also :) but mostly she took lots of nap during the day :) and she got washed by her nurse :) 

Tomorrow is day 2 and on day 3 which is Saturday I will be going down to see her and spend my day with her :)
