After a rough start, Isabella put on her brace and transferred to a wheelchair. We took a little ride around the floor then were invited to the Child Life playroom to build and paint a birdhouse! She really had fun, talking with some other kids, listening to Hannah Montana on the jukebox and then playing air hockey! When we got back to her room, the Physical Therapist was waiting for us so we were off the gym. Isabella worked really hard at standing and taking a few steps to the table, where we played Mancala and Trouble while she stood. Then she took a pretty long walk back to her wheelchair...I am so proud of her! It was exhausting and painful but she did her best!
Right now, she's chillin' in bed watching Disney Channel after finally eating...almost a whole bowl of chicken noodle soup!
There's that smile that's been hiding for a few days!

Wow - I had to go back and read to see what was going on. I've been following the facebook stuff, but I wasn't quite sure what had happened. She's such a brave little girl. Surgery is no fun, but recovery is far worse. It will just get easier each day. She's doing great so far though. I'm so thankful that the tumor was benign, and I know you and your family are too. Blessings to you!
She is such a trooper! I'm so glad to hear that she is doing so well!
We are proud of you too Isabella! Keep workin' hard! We love you and miss you!
