Marykate has been doing really well since the transfusion. She is up walking quite a bit, eating fairly well and her pain has been managed nicely. As some things improve, others have become more of a challenge. Sunday (Easter) was a great day, but last night was a little harder. Phantom pains have become more of an issue as she feels as if her arm is still there. She says it is not exactly painful, but very annoying - sort of like if your arm was asleep and had a prickly, pins and needle feeling but is more intense. We will be leaving the hospital tomorrow and going back to Ronald McDonald house. She has been in good spirits and has been able to enjoy a movie and have a few laughs.
