Tues, July 19- The first full day

Today was the first full day with the hip spica. Mason woke up around 7:30am and was greeted by his pediatric surgeon. He said Mason looked great and that he should heal fine. He mentioned that we would have to flip him quite often because the plaster was still wet.

At 8am Uncle Maxx and Aunt Simi arrived. Mason was thrilled to see them. What a treat! Maxx fed him breakfast as he always does a great job trying to get him to eat when he's not in the mood. They stayed for a bit, and then Mike arrived to see his little buddy! We then had a suprise visit from Anna, a friend of mine and the mother of Mason's friend Eitan. She brought Mason a teddy bear. Rochelle came, Lisa and Baby Eden, etc. It was so nice to have visitors. By the time everyone left, it was Mason's Nap time. He slept from about 1-4pm, and I woke him up... I'm really trying to get him to stay on his schedule. We had more visitors in the afternoon, Uncle Maxx, Aunt Simi and Mike came for dinner, and then my 7ish he went to bed for the night... and so did I!!! We both slept for 12 hours that night! It was bliss!

I was still quite emotional at this point, but I think the sleep really helped. I needed it as we were heading home in the morning and we had a long road to recovery. I needed to feel 100%
