Not even a band - aid...


We were released this afternoon and we are home. She keeps looking at herslef in the mirror saying, "there's no hole"! She did well last night. I feel like I was beaten up then run over but this isn't my blog!:) Anyways, she did great and the stoma is already closed! It hasn't leaked at all and looks good considering we just took it out yesterday. We left without even a band-aid!

Although it was rough at times we have sweet memoires to go with that little scar!
