Today marks one week since Abbey's Transplant took place.
It has been amazing to see the progress that she has made within such a small amount time.
We still have a hard time believing that just two weeks ago it was Thanksgiving and she was running around playing with cousins. 

The Physical Therapist comes in three times a day to get Abbey up and moving around, which she totally hates.  It takes so much energy and strength for her to simply sit on the side of her bed, but she knows that with each passing day it will become easier and she will become stronger.
 
On Monday, Abbey was moved from the PICU (Pediatric Intensive Care Unit) to the ICS (Immunocompromised Services Unit.)
The ICS cares for patients with blood disorders, cancers, and those going through transplants. 


On Tuesday, the Utah Jazz visited the kids at the hospital and they loved our Abbey!

Yesterday, Abbey played Bingo and WON! 

Today, we painted her nails.  About every doctor that came in pointed out the fact that she needed her nails done!  Who would have thought that a week after transplant surgery her nails would be such a topic of discussion with the doctors!

We are so thankful for all of the prayers, concern, and kind gestures. 
We are truly blessed.

P.S. Abbey says "hello!" 

Please continue to keep her in your prayers! 

We love you all,
The Owen's
