Allison Post Op Day 5 - Update Aug 21

Allison is almost ready to go home!  She had another busy day today.  She was able to shower with some help from Mom and put on her makeup to make her feel better, see attached picture.  She had her post op xray which we will get a copy of when we check out of the hospital.  She has been eating better today also.  The only bad part now is that she is till in a tremendous amount of pain which they explain is expected.  The pain is her back is the healing from the muscles being cut through to get to her spine and of course the work on her spine itself as well as the rods straightening it out.  The good news is, she will be discharged from the
hospital to come home tomorrow! =)
