Out of the Hospital - In the Hotel!!

Wow!  This has been such a different experience.  She was uncomfortable last night, but she didn't have a sling (she refuses) and so we brought out the splint we used when she first fractured the arm.  It made a HUGE difference!  She was feeling so much better within a few minutes that she asked for food and ate an entire dinner!  She had morphine before coming up to the hospital room floor, but never needed anymore after that point.  Hooray.  

She was well managed with just motrin and Tussionex (hydrocodone).

We checked out of the hospital by 9 this morning and didn't know what to do with ourselves!  She is still having some pain both in her legs and obviously in the arm.  

She and I took a 3 hour nap this afternoon and felt much more human after that.

We are back in the hotel and Molly is happily playing.  

If things continue as they are right now we will be heading back to St. Louis tomorrow morning.

Hip Hip Hooray!
