Every day Georgia gets a little stronger...

Post-op day #5: Rick and I were talking at lunch how we feel like we're in a time warp here. Was surgery really last Wednesday? Time is flying and so is Georgia. Events of the day:

• first hair wash (even the surgeon had commented on her nappy bed head!)
• improved head and trunk control (sitting with less assistance in the gym during therapy)
• big poop (very necessary for post-op neurosurgery kiddos - Georgia was not happy!)
• killer renditions of "Mary had a Little Lamb" and "Take me out to the Ballpark" (Red Sox version of course)
• sharing a Winnie the Pooh book with her little sister
• sweet talking a Respiratory Therapist out of her final EZ Pap treatment and....
• Mom and Dad master the posting of videos on this blog (see below)!

Everyone is smitten with Georgia's charm and continue to be very impressed with how she is doing. Her neurologist Dr. Knupp came by again today and said that the amount of movement that Georgia has in her left arm and leg so far is a good predictor that she will regain a good amount of function. We've also noticed that Georgia seems to have much better attention to tasks, TV programs/videos and even conversations than before surgery. We joke that she is probably thinking "thank god all that static is gone!" Atta girl G - we love you, keep cruisin'!

For your viewing pleasure, here are some videos of Georgia's progress. Ignore the bad hair do's :)
