Chelsea has now hit the three week mark post surgery. She didnt have too memorable of a day however. She really hasnt felt too good today so maybe eating regular food will take some time. Chels had a craving for hummus and baklava so we ordered takeout last night. The food was really good but Chelsea was only able to eat a very small amount. Based on how she felt this morning, it may be awhile before we order it again. She has not felt like eating all day today.
The transplant team is still very happy with her progress - it is just going to take time before she fully recovers. This is definitely a marathon, not a race, so we are staying positive and celebrating every day! We have come a long way in just three short weeks.
Thanks to all for the comments, cards, gifts, and prayers! We are so lucky to have such good friends and family.
Dear Chelsea,
ReplyDeleteI hope that you feel better tomorrow. I am missing you so much already. I understand that it is so hard for you to be away from your family and friends but please know that we all are praying for a speedy recovery for you and are counting the days, minutes, and seconds until you can come home.
I am happy that we were together for Independence Day because I have so many prayers for your freedom. I pray that you will:
Be free of disease and sickness and all the rest of your life is filled with health and happiness
Be free to eat whatever you want without worry- I want to be the first to treat you to a big tub of hot buttered popcorn and an ice cold coke :)
Be free to live an independent life surrounded by family and friends and to pursue whatever your heart desires
Chelsea, you are the most amazing girl in the world. I love you so very much, kelly
