1 Week After Surgery

Devin FINALLY got to sit next to his sissy! Have to keep a close eye on these two.

Arianna had another great day. She has more energy and her pain is under control. She did almost fall earlier when she was walking to the bathroom with her Daddy but its a good thing he was there and caught her. She said that hurt and looked scared. We had to explain to her why she has to be gentle with her chest for a few weeks. We didn't get technical before her surgery to not scare her about her chest being sawed open. Good thing we waited cause the look in her eyes was horrible when we told her they had to go through that bone to get to her heart. Explained that its a "broken" bone like mommy's foot when it broke and needs time to heal.

Then about 4:30pm Arianna asked to go for a walk! So we put our shoes on and grabbed the wagon to help her in case it was a bit too much. So incredible...a week after major open-heart surgery and we are going on a family walk!

This is about as far as she's gone since coming home...

Love the way the sun is shining through..looks as if the heavens are shining down on my baby girl!

She made it about 9 houses then wanted to ride in the wagon. Then she went across the street to check the mail.

Grams came over tonight to make cookies! These girls are inseperable! My mom is always willing to take time out of her  busy schedule to come over and do something fun with Arianna.Thanks Mom!

Making cookies...

Story behind this pic. Arianna is getting a bit feisty already and fighting with her brother. I had to get a bit stern with her and she went to her chair to pout. So I told her cute she looked when she pouted...

That made her smile :) Sorry I can't help but want to keep that smile on her face. I've seen my girl cry way too much this week. 

Devin ended up crawling up on the couch and feel asleep. Hoping Arianna gets to sleep early. We were up till 2am last night watching "The Karate Kid"
