Krista,
I'm so glad that everything went well and Ella is doing great. She'll be running and figuring how to jump up on the couch in no time. The time will go by quickly and you'll enjoy the break from therapy I'm sure.

We used shampoo in a cap which also has a conditioner in it when Matthew had mod quad and we used the rinse free shampoo this time. Both worked really great. I found myself washing his hair everyday. He got hot in the cast and his head would smell sweaty.

Hey Krista! I'm so glad that Ella is home and doing well. I am so happy that the surgery went well and that she tolerated things so well. That's an answer to prayer.

hi krista - so glad everything went well. we too washed about 2 x a week and it was fine - she didn't get very dirtythis time of year. we did the towel over the sink thing too. we used a "baby" bath for bath time - i filled it about 1-2 inches with bubble bath and she just sat in it and got her other hand wet and played. that way her bottom could get clean :). and she could still be in the bathroom while big sis took her bath.
it'll be over before you know it.

Krista, when TJ was in the spica he had a hard time getting onto the sofa too- we got him a bean bag chair, it didn't last long within 2 weeks he'd figured out how to climb most things.
I'm glad Ella is doing so well, they are amazing how they bounce back!
