When Jenna woke up, I didn’t really know what to expect, but she was in so much pain and just really upset. I was beyond sad, and at first they couldn’t get her pain under control at all. Once they did, she fell asleep and slept hard! She woke up at 4:30 am ready to get out of bed! Man that kid is such a champion, she never stops blowing me away! We discharged from the hospital about 10:30 this morning, and we’re staying across the street from the hospital per the surgeon’s orders. If Jenna is feeling fine in the morning, I think we’re going to head home. 

Jenna had a FaceTime call with her class this afternoon, and it just warmed my heart how close they all are already and how excited they were to see her! They’re such good kids, Jenna just loves them. She’s sad to be missing school!

We come back to Mayo mid December, and they will then turn the unit on and get it programmed. In the meantime Jenna should get some good healing time in. She’ll be out  of school for a few weeks and no activity for a while. She’s sad to miss school but soooo happy to be excused from dish duty! Haha! But for now, I am going to look forward to Thanksgiving coming up and being able to share it with our wonderful family. Last year I was at Mayo with my mom, and while I love the Canadian Honker, I never want to eat Thanksgiving dinner there again! Ha! So best wishes for happy holidays to everyone, and I will send an update on how things are going in the new year! 

Love from the Rehlings
