Chandler's Progress Day 1 at HOME ...

Chandler did really well on her first night at home. We have found she is very comfortable in the lazy boy watching TV in the family room. Got a little deal all set up beside her so that drinks and snacks and remote are within arms reach. She hasn't really felt like talking too much and then last night at about 9:00pm, she suddenly sat up in the chair a little bit and started talking about everything. She was hungry and she wanted to move. She sat at the kitchen table and had some chicken & stars soup. She also enlightened us about lots of things she overheard us and different people who were at the hospital talking about when we all thought she was asleep. That was an interesting conversation. She also asked where Molly was. We told her that Molly is at the vet. I suppose we'll come clean on that one tonight. We have done lots of walking rounds in the house to get her up and keep her moving. Maybe we'll get outside one evening soon. She slept really well last night, only woke up once for some pain meds. This morning we got up and freshened up and she has had a good morning. She even wanted to go downstairs to visit Lala. I was a little nervous, but she did the stairs really well - Andy in front of her and me behind her - we visited with Lala for about 5 mintues and then headed back up. Also, today she is walking with me walking beside her, not holding her arm.

Seems that Chandler is up for visitors, so if anyone wants to pay her a visit, call us or come on by ... we're here all week.
