Surgery Update-She is just Alyson

Alyson is doing great post surgery. You would never know that she has gone through what she has gone through. Everyone is amazed when they see her. They expect to see her laid up on the couch in pain. Instead, what they get is.... Alyson. Just Alyson, she still gets up in the morning takes a shower and gets ready for the day. She may need a little help from me, but most of the things she normally does she still does. The first day home was a little difficult for her in terms of getting comfortable, so I went out and got her a new recliner so that she can sit in comfort. The only problem that she is having is not being able to pick up Brooks and hold him. She has limited use of her left arm and she cannot lift anything heavier than 10 lbs. About every 8 hours I have to change her drain tubes as they fill up with fluids. Other than that she is doing great. She is just Alyson.

We are going over to her parents house for Easter dinner. Happy Easter everyone. He is Risen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
