Surgery update #3

A lot has happened in the last couple hours.

We were able to see Tess in the recovery unit at about 1:00. She was alert, a little crabby and hungry.

At 2:00 we went down for an MRI to check the placement of her hip in the socket and now we've been moved up to her room on the 6th floor.

She's very tired and in a little discomfort when she coughs. She seems to be ok with the cast, but she's on some pain meds so might not be totally aware.

Just trying to keep her comfortable and also trying to get her to sleep a bit. She's exhausted.

Update on the hip: It's in the socket, but the socket is still too small. So the idea is that with the femoral head in place, the socket will grow around it over the next several weeks.
