Julianna's recovery-Day 4

Yesterday was filled with lots of visitors and lots of activity.  My cousin and her husband came all the way from Mississippi for the weekend to visit with us.  She had so much fun playing with Greg. I was so glad to have them visit.  It's hard being 3 hours away from family and friends.   After they left our new room was ready and we were headed upstairs to a bigger room with a bathroom, shower and a bed for Mommy and Daddy.  With this room both of us can sleep with her in the room and we can also eat in the room so now we don't have to leave her.  Then Noah, Eli, Memaw and Papaw came back to visit us in our new room.   We brought her upstairs in a wagon and she didn't want to get back in the bed so she stayed in the wagon all afternoon.  We walked around the floor and went to the playroom.  She is under a "high risk for fall" so we have to be careful and not let her walk around.  She wanted to walk around so bad but we just couldn't let her do that.  So last night Memaw gave her a Princess coloring book with some glitter Crayons and a Tangled playset.  She was having a blast playing with her new things in her wagon of course.  She tried to do too much yesterday afternoon so by the evening time she was in quite a bit of pain.  She was really fussy.  This time around is a lot harder with a 3 year old instead of an 8 month old.  She was not as needy as a baby.  Now she knows what she wants and is ready to tell us.  She's very bossy!  :)   She does not like the nurses to flush out or draw blood from her IVs.   I guess the pressure and the coldness of the saline or medicine is what she is feeling.  Either way she cries every time.  It just breaks my heart.  This morning they realized that her IVs were not working anymore for blood draw so they had to stick her to draw blood.  Not a happy camper!!!  Then the doctor came in and wanted to take her bandage off of her incision where her ribs were taken.  Again, not a happy camper!!!  She wanted Mommy to help and I tried but the doctor ended up doing the job for me.  Oh well I would rather her be mad at the doctor instead of me anyways.    So this morning started off really rough but now we are sitting in her bed watching the Disney channell.   We are going to get her out of the room today for a wagon ride and some play time.  We might even go outside if it warms up out there.  

Thanks for all of the prayers.  She is healing and hasn't had any complications, other than the IVs.  Please know that I'm reading all of the comments but I haven't had time to sit and respond to all of them.  Like I said Julianna is really needy and wants us by her side at all times holding her hand.  I'm sitting here typing this out right now in her bed as she holds on to my arm on one side and Daddy on the other side.  She is in a betther mood now.
