Soda and caffeine? I think any vice short of crack and meth is completely acceptable right now.

Totally agree with mommyatty, on this one, really anything you need to make it through is alright. Particularly caffeine...

[k3am]

Up and around today. Nausea is finally past. She's a trooper.

[campermom]

So glad to hear this update. I'm sure it feels good to see her playing a little bit too.

[erinshelley21]

I'm sorry you had such a rough night but am happy to see that things have improved. I hope she continues to feel better.

[mommyatty]

I'm waffling between calling her a superhero and a badass. How about both? She takes after her mama.

[callmekd]

So glad she's feeling better k3am.

[k3am]

We got smiles tonight! And even better news, we're out of PICU and into general peds.

[welly01]

Such a great update! Glad to see she's up and around.

[xctsclrx]

Great updates k3am, one step closer to going home!!!

[mommyatty]

And hair!!!! What a cute, brave girl.

[leap]

So happy to see those pictures of her playing and smiling! How long does she stay in general peds?

[mustardseed2007]

I'm so glad everything went smoothly. She looks awesome! she is awesome - you're awesome! Hugs!

[k3am]

Totally lied. They're still in PICU. DH had texted last night to say they were moving, but when I asked what the room number was, he said they didn't move.

[waverly]

Thats a bummer. Was it a better night than the first one? How was the MRI?

Its great to see her smile!

[phdmomma]

Any reason why they had to stay in the PICU? The toy room looks awesome though.

[legomyago]

Glad to see smiles! I'm hoping for continued improvement.

[k3am]

WE GET TO GO HOME TONIGHT!!!

Apparently we didn't get to move out of PICU because of crowding.

waverly her MRI looked great. There is a LOT of blood that needs to reabsorb and some small herniation (? Not sure if this is the right word) of the brain, but nothing they're too concerned about.

They resection area is about 2-3x bigger than they'd planned - apparently once they got in there, they could visibly see tumor that didn't show up on the MRIs but was clearly visible to the eye.

[erinshelley21]

Yay for going home! I'm so glad the stay was short!

[sudokufan]

OMG, I'm so glad you guys are getting sprung, I hope you have a great uneventful weekend.

[waverly]

That is so great that you get to go home!!!!!

[sweetptater]

Yay for going home!

She's such a brave girl - and such a cutie!!!

[twinmomma]

I'm so glad you get to be home this weekend! And what a relief that the MRI looked great!

[leap]

Yay! I'm so glad everything is going so well. I bet it will feel amazing to be home.

[CrazyLucky]

I'm so happy for you guys! I hope her recovery is relatively easy. She looks like a trooper.

[yummmy]

YAY!!! I am so glad you guys get to go home! Leaving the hospital is always the best feeling ever

[sandandsea]

Yea! So happy for you and that they got it! She's amazing and so are you and dad!!

[indyrowergirl]

Holy cow! That's great (and astonishing!) that you get to go home already. Fingers crossed everyone can get some good sleep. Have a great weekend!

[186momx]

I can't believe you get to go home already. Hopefully everyone gets sleep over the weekend. When can she return to daycare?

[billie]

I'm sorry she had a rough first night but I'm so glad to see these updates. I hope you're home already and everyone can rest. She's such a trooper and you're such an awesome mama k3am

[librarychica]

I'm so glad you're going home! I hope she settles back in well.
