We took a day off from everything when we got word that Victoria was not going to be scheduled for brain surgery and that her headaches and dizziness are from Post-Concussion Syndrome.
This past couple months has been very difficult trying to help her manage a non-stop headache and dizziness. She sleeps so much, day and night. We have all just about had it with trying to adjust life to benefit Victoria's healing. I asked her what would she like to do if we just took a day off.
She wanted to go to the zoo. Okay, it will probably wipe
her out for a couple days but we could at least try it.
I'm glad it was sunny, all the animals were out basking in the sun.
I made them take a picture together.
I have one of Victoria when she was about 5 years old next to this little otter one time when we came up to SLC visiting Rich in Payson. I'd love to see that picture but Jasper ate the hard drive that that picture was on a couple years ago. Oh well....
Victoria was saying that she could relate with that bear. She could feel her body getting to it's limit for the day but was so happy to do something "normal" for a change. No doctor appointments, tests or sleeping on the couch. Having a head concussion can be so debilitating.
It was worth spending a few hours at the zoo but she was pretty wiped out for the next couple days.
