We sat there petting her and talking with her for quite a while, during which she got up and walked around several times and she let me pick her up and move her to where she could sit down more comfortably--and she didn't scream or try to bite me then either! The surgical tech said she is doing incredibly well and that they are all just amazed by her recovery, especially considering what happened to lead her to this point. She is well ahead of what they expected from her and told us that they're weaning her further from IV drugs so she can come home tomorrow evening! From what we saw today, it's very encouraging. She mostly just walked on three legs (her right leg is still really painful) but she has started doing more tap-and-touch actions with her right leg and she appeared to have stood on it for a bit at one point.
Here is a picture from today:
And here are two videos of her:
(Ignore how I look...we had to be at the hospital at 8:30 am on my day off. I was looking all sorts of raggedy.)
Needless to say, we're quite excited about our model little patient's progress! (The surgical tech's words--not ours. :))
