Ivey was discharged yesterday! She had a great night, Mrs. Stephanie was here --- so we all had sleep.
She looks much, much better today. The swelling has gone down a little and she is in a GREAT mood. Tylenol is holding her, which amazes me.
The boys came home this morning and seemed pretty non-phased by Ivey and her swollen and bruised appearance. A good thing, I think. Sometimes it takes them a little time. I did take them for some hot-chocolate and they voiced a few questions, mainly concerning the incision and stitches... and went on their way. And now they are getting down to business with the Georgia - Auburn game.
Settling down from an emotional roller coaster is always hard - but we do it- together .....we are truly blessed by wonderful family and friends. One of those friends gave the blood that went to Ivey during her transfusion during the surgery.....And now Ivey now has some Auburn blood flowing through her veins. Literally. So I wonder if that blood is urging her to let out a little 'war eagle'?
Of course NOT, what was I thinking..... blood is RED....
Go DAWGS!!

God Bless your family... He is wonderful to give your grate friends and family to help.
So happy to hear you are all home, and that you all got some sleep, which I'm sure was much needed!
I am glad to hear that Ivey is home and doing well. I hope she heals up quickly and her swelling goes down. That is geat that a friend was able to donate the blood that she got during surgery!
