Day 42 - Caitlin and I headed to a check-up with her surgeon, Dr. Long, today. He is totally amazing, very intuitive, and almost like a father bear when it comes to Caitlin. He had lots of insight to what is continuing to go on and about the trauma in general that put both Caitlin and I at ease that this is all part of the process and part of her destiny. Her x-rays pleased Dr. Long and we are still waiting to hear about her blood work-up. Next time she is home they will rerun the CT Scan to see how her liver and spleen are healing but with the swelling still there it is better to wait right now. Stopped at Heartland to see some of the guardian angels there and it was nice to see those beautiful familar faces again. Headed home to receive some very inspirational cards from Joanne & Jim. Joanne & Jim seem to have wonderful timing as to just when cards with words of inspiration need to arrive at the house. Caitlin can't wait to see them at the wedding and put her arms around them.
