Up....and down....

Sorry my posts are always so boring....I don't have pictures, well, yes, I do have pictures, but I don't know how to get them on here. That is a lesson I should have learned long ago but have not...so until then, Libbey can be in charge of the pictures and when I write, you will have to use your imagination!!
Up and down....that seems to describe perfectly how Lizzey has been feeling. One time I look at her and think she looks so much better...and then a few hours later I will see her again and I wonder...who is that....she looks white, icky, so tired.....oh, yes, it is....Lizzey!! I know she gets frustrated about feeling so tired and I have to keep reminding her...it has been less than 2 weeks since she had major surgery. She's afraid we will think her 'lazy' since she sleeps in and also takes an afternoon...siesta!! Ummm, no....I want her to sleep in, and I want her to take that siesta so her body can heal!! Eating is not going the best either and that is when I have to remind myself...it has been under 2 weeks...give it..time.
So while we get frustrated about some things we rejoice in the fact that surgery is over, no seizures this time, and recovery has been different than all the spine surgeries in the past. I know we do have to look ahead to another surgery, but until then we need to heal...well, she need to heal and we need to be patient...all of us.
So that's how it is....up....down.....up....down....and down the road...there will be more ups than downs...we just need to remember that....sometimes so hard!!
