Emma is settling in well back at our house.  She occasionally has some belly pains but we're not sure what that is.  She appears to be doing well; no swelling, bruising, etc.  She was pulling the wagon with Gretta in it yesterday with no problems.  The doctor has told us to let Emma direct her recovery and that she has no restrictions so we're just supporting her now with occasional children's Tylenol as she needs.   Gretta celebrated her 2 year birthday yesterday but seemed to have a rather delicate day emotion wise.  Today, she is having a much better day though we've been inside all morning due to the rain.  We'll go grocery shopping after naps and that always seems to put the girls in a good mood!

October 2012 Cincinnati visit

Checked in at Ronald McDonald House in Cincinnati.  Emma had her surgeries today and did well.  We hope to only have to go back in October of next year but will start appointments in 6 months in case we need them.  All is good so far.  She still has same problems but is continuing to grow in height and weight.  She did have bilateral inguinal hernias and those were repaired with no problems.  We are recovering in our room at Ronald McDonald house and watching some Elmo's world with Gretta.  Tomorrow we'll have an easy morning maybe in arts and craft room or the library and then to a museum.
