Bandages Come off

Today is the day Angela gets her bandages off. Be prepared before you look at the pictures - her head is shaved, and there is a strip over her sutures. We have held her most the day so far. She gets excited when one of us walks into the room. We still can't get her interested in drinking water or juice (she doesn't like juice anyway but there are limited clear liquids) but she got excited when she saw a donut - so we let her have some. She didn't eat a lot, but enough - plus she kept it down. I brought in her own bottle and sippy cup so hopefully that will entice her a little more after she wakes up. She has started to interact with toys and respond to music so her personality is surfacing again - which is good to see. Her head has some bumps but the doctor ways the brain will fill those in as she grows. The plates and screws that are supporting the bone will dissolve after about 1 year. We are quite pleased with the doctors and the care she is getting.
