Home Sweet Home

We got to come home on Tuesday night!! We are so happy to be out of that hospital room. Reagan is doing so good since being home. She's back to being into everything and crawling around. It's a modified crawl now. She uses her right knee and her left foot because she is still guarding her left knee. She stands up at every chance she gets, though she is still careful not to put too much weight down on her left leg. Thank goodness she doesn't mind her antibiotics. I have to give them to her three times a day for the next month and we have several follow up appointments with both the infectious disease doctor and the surgeon in the weeks to come. All in all she is doing good and getting back to her old self. Thank you for all the calls and prayers. We are very lucky to have friends and family who care for us and our little girl. Here are a few more pictures from our last days at the hospital.
This one is of Reagan's iv that they put in her forehead.
Heart breaking, isn't it?
This was the next day and while she had the iv in her head, at least she had her hands back and could play.
I know this is not a very good picture, but it's the best one I have of her knee. The actual incision is on the inside of her knee and the place on the outside was where they had the drain.
Still, she was a happy girl!
This was yesterday. Our neighborhood just opened a park and they had food and fun activities for the grand opening. It's at the end of our street, so we walked down.

First time in a swing!!! Sometimes she looked scared and sometimes she looked like she loved it. Not sure how she really felt, but we'll keep trying it until we know.

Here's a video of her first swing experience! Enjoy!
