Grace had her first full day after the operation at home today. We let Connor stay home from school to be with her. The possibility of her licking the wound all day while being alone scared us, and Connor certainly didn’t complain about getting to stay home. She’s supposed to not get up and down from the couch or go up and down stairs. It’s kind of hard to prevent the couch thing because she is so quick. She got down the stairs in a flash two times already, too. Her wound looks okay, but a little red and swollen tonight. I asked Rob if we could give her a Benadryl tomorrow to sedate her, but I don’t know if it would. I did research giving it to her, and we could give her 50mg since she weighs about 55 pounds. I’m just not sure if we want to do it or not. We’ll see what tomorrow brings.
Thanks for everyone’s good thoughts for her – they must have worked! :-)
