Just wanted to give you a quick update of how things have gone a week after Julia’s discharge. As you can see, she’s wearing her new scar like a party hat! She seems to be over most of the discomfort, and though we’re still in the process of… er… stabilizing her diaper situation, we think that a corner has been turned in that area as well.

It’s becoming a little more normal every day. Interesting thing is that we really don’t know what “normal” looks like. We’ve been living in a state of abnormal for the past nineteen weeks, and it’s going to be an interesting journey on the road to normal. Those thoughts are forthcoming.

But as you can see, our girl is definitely thriving through it all. Thanks so much for your concern and encouragement!
