Post Op - Day 2 She's Home!

Steven and I wanted to be at the hospital when the doctors did their rounds this morning. So we got to the hospital around 6:15am. Visiting hours don't start until 9:00am, so we had to be sneaky and go in through Urgent Care and work our way through the halls. We made it all the way into Rachel's room before we got stopped. 😂 Only one of us could sit bedside until the doctors came, and at that point the other could be texted to come  and talk to the doctors. 

The Plastic Surgeon Resident came at 7:00 and looked in Rachel's mouth and after answering some questions, was going to recommend discharge. We walked out of the hospital just after 9:00am. 

So we are home! She was happy to take a shower! Into clean comfy clothes and is doing really well. Pain is manageable. Swelling about the same as last night, and is drinking and eating soft foods. First Post Op appointment is Monday morning.
