Well, yesterday Rylee felt good enough that she kept trying to play basketball. Grandma and Grandpa Phair came over from Medford to see her and Uncle Nic and Uncle Craig and Aunt Molly live in town and came to see her. Lots of calls and emails from friends and family. She loved seeing and hearing people were thinking about her.
She got bored having to sit and lay and rest yesterday. She was swollen, but good. Today, she is more sore and swollen. She is starting to bruise a bit under her right eye. Her lip looks better though. She was trying to get a cold before this happened and now it seems to have hit. She is coughing a bit and from banging her nose up she is still stuffy (she sounds like she has her nose plugged when she talks to you) but now she keeps sneezing, which makes everything hurt. She is already sick of soft foods and she will be eating those for awhile yet to come. She is in good spirits over all, but it is a lot harder as her parents to see her hurt.
Plus, I think we have de-thawed enough that the worry over how her mouth will heal and if she will need surgeries and grafts have set in. Although we are trying not to think about that yet. She is just such a beautiful girl and of course we don't want anything to disfigure her. Lyle is going to give her a blessing today. We should have done it yesterday when all of the family was here but didn't think about it until they had all gone. She is a special little girl and she is just handling this so well.
I am so glad she isn't a whiner by nature. She is just so tough and laid back about it all. We are so grateful she didn't get hurt worse.
