School days never get a break.
The amazing menu! This is just 2 pages of menu items. There were more! The hospital now has room service. When you are hungry, you order, any time of day until 6:00.
A room with a view:

What a tyrant for making poor Erika do school after surgery! :)
I cant wait to see you, Erika! That is if you go to church.
Get well soon!
Yay for getting home fast! Wishing a speedy recovery!
HAHAHA! MaryGrace, that was the day before surgery. :)
Your family makes my heart smile. So glad Erika is doing well. :-)
I'm glad to hear that Erika is home and doing well. I love that you took so many photos, that's totally something I would do!
Also, I love the tiles you painted, they're awesome, and how cool to have as a memento of the experience. :)
Welcome home Erika! Nice to see all the pictures :-)

Dear Christie and Erika, thank you for sharing so much, I'm truly glad Erika is in such a good spirit. I really felt you very close with all you post, and it was very relifing getting to know she was not scared, not very much in pain and defitely not scared. welcome home darlings!
So will this require new prosthesis?
I gotta read back...surgery was for bone over-growth?
Hi Chris,
Yes, she will be having new legs made starting in about 3 weeks. It will take 6-8 for them to be completed, so we are wheel chair bound for awhile. :)
Those photos really were touching. I am so glad she was so loved on by everyone - and so trusting that she would be, too. Also, I see many a trigger there for my little girl.... Both the vulnerability and the attention would have sent someone at my house off into the stratosphere of dysregulation - whether she were the patient or the sister. Sounds like you escaped that - I'm so glad!
