Claire is back from the hospital after her surgery on Monday to correct biliary atresia in her liver. She did remarkably, and impressed all her doctors and nurses with how well she handled recovery. One day later she was already out of intensive care and off of her pain medications. Brothers only had a chance to visit her twice before she was on her way home for the weekend to enjoy the sunny weather. It's amazing what the doctors can do for such tiny little patients like Claire, but it's even more miraculous what her body is doing to heal once set in the right direction.
Day 1 - Claire came out of surgery with a "Star Patient" certificate from her doctor. Of course, she couldn't have done it without her special blankie from Grandma and Grandpa.
Day 3 - Claire moved to her room with a view, just in time for the fireworks.
Day 5 - Unhooked and off the monitors, Claire is ready to roll.
