Day 5 after first surgery

9:15pm 

 Today Mackenzie and Mason went out, yes I said "out" to breakfast! I, being the nervous mom that I am, was afraid that she was going out too soon. When your child is 26, you can't really make them stay home, ugh!!! I have to say, she looked wonderful and so excited to get dressed and put on some make up and get out. She even had on jeans!  She looked amazing. 

When she got home it was time for Mason to head back to their new home in Michigan. Kenz was sad to see him leave.  She has a visiting nurse service that comes to check on her every few days. The nurse will come again tomorrow. She also has a couple post op appointments with  the ileostomy nurse and her surgeon. So for all those appointments she will be living here with mom and dad for awhile. Her goal is to get to Michigan to set up the house before she comes back here for the next surgery. The soonest she could have the second surgery is the beginning of June. 

Today Dominic came to visit Aunt Mackenzie.

  1. Wow!!! She looks amazing!!! Glad she got to get out a bit, but I like you Rhonda, would be worried that she doesn't overdo!!! But seeing Mason off was a special occasion and she can rest up all week long!!! Hope she sleeps well tonight!! xoxoxo

  4. What a beautiful smile on her face! Mackenzie looks great and it is hard to think about all she has been through already! She is one strong young woman!! I'm sure it was tough to see Mason off but it won't be long before she gets there! Wishing her the best!!
