Lizzy update

Lizzy continues to do very very well. She's pretty much back to her old self personality-wise. She hasn't had much pain at all, is doing more and more on her own and is starting to eat more. She's been able to go out for some pretty long walks ... still very slow and somewhat unsteady, but making fantastic progress. The neurosurgeons came and redressed her incision this morning and it appears to be healing well. They unhooked all her monitors and IV's today and mentioned it might even be possible for her to go home this afternoon, but we think it will more likely be tomorrow.

Thanks to everyone for sending comments to Lizzy's post. She's REALLY enjoyed reading those and appreciates very much the many people that are helping her. The cards, balloons, and visits have been much appreciated as well.

Lizzy went for a walk with mom and grandma out to see the fish tank last night.

Lizzy is still using the neck brace for support when she is up and about, but doesn't like it much.

We even went outside for a few minutes this morning to get some fresh air!
