Update.

Well after an 1 /12 hours in recovery, they moved Mallory to the Observation Wing.  The Hospital Ortho Wing was full so we were in a holding pattern till a bed opened up.  The staff on the observation wing were great, especially after spending 8 hours with them.  It was 8 p.m. before we were able to move to a regular hospital room.

Mallory got her wish- A YELLOW CAST.

We settled in to a routine of vitals checks, IV checks, and all the other care that's necessary after surgery.

A couple of visits from the Doctor.

Visits from Matthew and Hannah.  And the official first signings of the cast.

I am so proud of Matt and Hannah for handling this day so well.

Room Service x3.  Mallory loves to call the # and order food.

Watched TV with Matt & Hannah before they left for the night. 

Mallory is getting used to ambulating with a cast.  Her pain is being managed. 

Mallory did not sleep at all yesterday.  I was worried with her sleep disorder and behaviors that we would be in for a long night.  I was wrong.  After Todd, Matt, and Hannah headed home, Mallory settled to sleep pretty quickly.  She even slept through a lot of the nurse visits throught the night.  And for my girl who is awake most mornings before 5 a.m., well, she slept till 7 a.m.
*Happy Dance*
Sleeping in till 7 a.m. is pure bliss in our family.

The IV should come out this morning.  We are awaiting a boot for her cast and evaluation from Physical Therapy.
After all that's complete, we are outta here.  Homeward Bound.
