Post Surgery Smiles

Hello again dear friends and Charlie fans,

Charlie had a great first day home from the hospital.  Yes, he was very unhappy this afternoon when his swelling and bruising peaked between noon and 4pm.  However, tonight he's looking and feeling much better.  He is smiling when he hears familiar voices and trying very hard to interact even without the use of his sight.  We're thrilled that he wants to move, roll, kick and exercise his limbs.  Dr. Fearon explained that physical activity is a very healthy sign and that he cannot damage his new skull shape by moving around.  In fact, Dr. Fearon said that moving will actually help Charlie's head heal faster and encourage the bruising to dissipate sooner.  So tonight, we're all smiles at the Greenman house. 




And here is a video of Charlie kicking and smiling and enjoying being IV free.



All our love,
Jack and Sarah Greenman
