Savanna Is Home!
Well you won’t believe this one. Savanna has done so wonderful that she is already home! She got to come home today, a few days early. Each day we saw more signs of healing and as of yesterday, she had no pain medication (including even Tylenol) until 10:30 last night and I think that was more to help her rest. She informed me that she was ready to come home yesterday, only 3 days after a major surgery. Now I remember from my days of working in surgery that the 3rd day is the peak day for pain and swelling. You would have never known that with Savanna! She told me, “Savanna go home.” I told her she needed to tell her doctor that this morning.
I know you will all join me in giving thanks to our Father for how wonderful she has done. She has continued to amaze us all with her strength and her unbelievable recovery. I thought that sitting in her wheelchair for the first time and riding in it in the van would have been painful, but she did not complain one time. This surgery involved making an incision all the way down her spine, from the top of her back to her tailbone. They then had to pull everything away from the bone, including the muscle, insert 2 titanium rods down either side, place 3 screws in her pelvic bones and attach the rods with some type of wire all along her spine, and yet she is not complaining whatsover. She is just in her room watching TV, singing and as happy as can be. What a miracle child she is!!! I think the scoliosis had gotten so uncomfortable itself, that she is in relief now. All I know is it is an answer to prayer. She was such a blessing to the staff at the hospital as well.
So, I hope none of you have gone to the hospital only to find an empty bed. She is resting right now, but I know she will love to have visitors. If you want to come and visit, please just call first so I can let you know if she is napping. We did come home with some pain medication, but I doubt she will even need it. She hasn’t had anything since 10:00 this morning and that was only because Dr. Gray felt we should medicate her before the ride home. We have continually asked if she is okay, is she hurting, does she need pain medicine. Her answers are always, fine and no I don’t need anything. Such a little trooper.
As always, we REALLY appreciate all of your prayers for our precious Savanna and our family. We will continue to pray for a full and speedy recovery.
Love,
Mindy
