So......we've had 3 snow days and we are having late start tomorrow. Danielle and I went back to school on Monday and then mother nature dumped about 8" of snow on us plus frigid temperatures. One month ago tomorrow Danielle had her scoliosis surgery. It is unbelievable how fast the month has gone. On Monday, I went back all day and Danielle was there from 9:15 to noon. I enjoyed my day at school so much. It was wonderful to be back and to see the children again. God has blessed me with a job I love! Danielle had a wonderful day as well. I can't say enough great things about the administration and teachers at our school. They are amazing to work with and are fabulous with Danielle. Danielle took her pillow to school to prop in her chair. She used a chair from the business room to take from class to class. She has great friends who look out for her, carrying her books and making sure she is okay. She is still trying to get caught up in her class work. Since we have been home the past 3 days and her classes weren't continuing to work ahead of her, Danielle has been able to get caught up in most of her classes. She is still sore but is taking no medication! I am so proud of her and I think she looks great and is doing very well.
All of the glue came off Danielle's back last week and her scar is looking great! Dr. Lenke did a wonderful job. Danielle was so excited to finally see her scar. She went to a friend's house for a Super Bowl party on Sunday evening. She assured me that she would be fine. Her friends really look out for her. I talked to Danielle about knowing her limits and listening to her body before she went to the party. She was cautious! She told me today that in the afternoons she is feeling so well that she forgets about her back. Then late in the evenings she can always tell if she went over her limits that day. Although she is doing amazing, I remind Danielle that it has only been one month since she has had a very serious surgery and her recovery is far from over.
