The Reedy Family Documentary: Week One Post Implant Surgery

Well, surprisingly enough, we went the whole week with no problems. Minus the hating of taking her medicine, Ryan faired quite well. Her sores are really healing so quickly, it is totally amazing. The swelling still remains right where the implant is located (or maybe it's not swelling?) but regardless she is still doing well. Ryan used to be a belly sleeper, not so much these days. I would bet the belly sleeping will be back within the next week or so.

Ryan saw civilization post hospital on Friday. My mom was in town all week (and the week before, thank goodness!) and we ventured out to lunch and for some shopping since it was super sunny and 80 degrees. Ryan did so well. Not a peep, and she just enjoyed her lunch with us.

I will say, I have been surprised, no shocked, that no one, not one single person, has asked us about Ryan's ears. I think if we were still living in Texas where people are super friendly and want to know everything about you before you even know their name, we would have told her story a zillion times by now. Nope, not here in Philly. If people know you, they ask. But not one stranger asked-- and let me just tell you, just like most 9-month olds, she was getting soooo much attention. It seemed like every other person was telling us how cute she was. Anyway, funny. That's a total culture change that Sean and I have adjusted to-- the people, that is. My mom even commented that no one would say hi back to her on her walk. So funny.

Anyhow, my mom left yesterday after being here 10 days-- so sad. It was fun having her here and the kids love her. Here is a good pic of one of her last days here. Don't mind Ryan's look-- she's a little chunk in this pic!

Speaking mom's, we had a fun mother's day. Church, grocery store where Bryce ran up and down each isle, uneventful and unfruitful house hunting, nap, dinner. Good day. Some pics below...
