Lucy is doing really great, in my opinion. In fact, if it wasn't for the swelling she still has or the nasty-looking scar/stitches across the top of her head, she seems to be back to her normal self. She is laughing, smiling, playing, sleeping MUCH better, and eating great. She is still pretty mommy-needy but that also may have nothing to do with the surgery. I haven't given her any Tylenol since last Tuesday or Wednesday, I think. It's hard not to be impatient and want the swelling to go down, but I keep reminding myself it may be a full month after the surgery until her swelling is completely gone, and even longer until her head shape is in its settled state.
Here's a picture of her from yesterday. You can see her eyes are still swollen and the top of her head is still swollen, but other than that she looks great!
Lucy looks wonderful! She has come a long way in one week...and, best of all, her happiness is intact!
