Monday Morning hello from MD

LIttle feet of Olivia

SWOLLEN and COLD TOES

but

oh what a day yesterday was

SUPERBOWL SUNDAY

has nothing on my girl!

Coffee good Joan made

and our girl still sleeping soundly

after nightly crawl upstairs with those feet up in the air

and a crawl to the bed!

She is just too funny.

She is still showing some effects of the "gas" of anesthesia particularly in her right eye, and a bit "slow on the take" but her sweetness as always is right on the money, and her smile is always there...

She had not slept since surgery when I arrived, and was in wheelchair and then to knees to then need assistance on the necessities and back to the couch, where an exhausted Nana and Olivia are still enjoying the status
of "fat cats" being waited on by the Mama, Joan!
Super bowl sunday had nothing on our girl as she was quite remarkable indeed.

We've fired up the sage many times a day, for prayers of healing for her, smudging her from head to feet and then laying the bowl of smoking sage at her feet, watching as the smoke finds its way up and swirling magically around both feet and ankle and then making a straight line toward the ceiling.

Olivia finds it soothing, healing, and helps clarity of her mind/body/spirit

remembering she is 10 years old,

seeing the power of connection for her

fills my heart.

She is now eating, drinking water, and resting

more peacefully.

The day began with the wheelchair,\

ice for the ankles

moved from there to using crutches to get to the bathroom and to the kitchen as we encouraged her

to move through the pain of pressure on her feet

and the\

FEAR

to stand.

When she got to the kitchen

unsteady at that,

Nana then took away ONE crutch

and stood back as she maneuvered herself to the hall

with only one.

As she entered the foyer,

Nana then took the other crutch\

saw fear in her little sweet eyes,

but

asked her to look at

her Nana

to

take a deep breath in and smell the sage

to

exhale out

all the fear and pain

and

to walk to me.

I kept slowly walking backwards as she

looked at me.

Talking to her

reminding her to breathe in the sage

the healing

 watching as fear was replaced

with courage

with faith

with trust.

She moved her state to one

of a

WARRIOR

and

walked un aided to the couch

with a smile on her face.

Love/Faith/Trust

can move mountains

along

with

body/spirit/mind

connections.

Olivia has had one prescription pain pill

since this surgery was done

the picture of what was done

is on yesterdays blog!

We have moved the wheel chair out of sight now,

we are not moving the crutches as well.

SHE IS WALKING NOW

on those little feet.

SHE HAS NO PAIN.

She is still a bit off her game and balance

secondary to being so still

and unsteady

but\

mostly from the anesthesia

as evidenced by her right eye\

and her thought process being a bit slow.

It will take a couple of days I think to rid her system of all.

When we settled once again on the couch, she in Nana's arms, I was able to get her to rest, with my arms around her, we got good and comfortable for a day of movies...

So comfortable in fact that a great day of rest was just what we had. Joan got this photo of Nana and Olivia, two "fat cats"

My baby, wrapped in Nana's arms

finally sleeping a peaceful and deep sleep,

with the Nana!

 I know it was my best sleep

 since her surgery and since my flight!!!

BUT

she has us here, to love her, to nurture her, to encourage her and to laugh with her...

Today we will call

Kelly Two Wolves in South Dakota, and 2wolve will fire up sage there, we will fire it here, together we will do a blessing of healing ways together

with sissy 2wolves singing a special song to Olivia

for healing and she cannot wait.

She was too tired for it last night, but looks forward to it today. I think we have given her tylenol one time

isn't that amazing ???

We ended last night by Olivia walking to the stairs

for bed, so very tired from her day,

from our Super Bowl watching and eating

and laughing.\

She crawled up the stairs with those little feet held in the air, and into the bed, where Nana tucked her in, kissed those little fat toes, and feet, and covered ankles...

then her sweet head, eyes, knows, ears, and lips....

She was tucked in

now dreaming of running in the wind.

We talked to DLB in Florida who is tearing apart the house on a cleaning spree there, and the four leggeds are calling the neighbor to do an intervention on her today hopefully to slow her down and or help with all that is happening there...

LOL

Lily the North American Black bear and tribe are just busy as can be I hear out there in Ely MN

and

our dear reader EE is appreciating all the well wishes and continues to benefit from our thoughts and prayers.

We are with you dear one, fight, STOMP, get well.

We are beside you always.

The fire is burning brightly and the sage is filling the house and the air.

Olivia and Joan thank you for all your thoughts and know it is helping,

My heart is filled as well.
