I think Caroline might have turned the corner today as far as pain and sleep. She hasn't had a Percocet since 8:00 pm last night. I am giving her Tylenol every 6 hours, and Alleve every 8. The Alleve is mostly for the swelling. She has slept more in the past 20 hours than she has in four days. Maybe the Percocet was keeping her awake. They say it affects everyone differently. She is calling her pain level at a four, higher when we are working on her PT. My parents are on the way up from FL, I will go back to work tomorrow. I'm really nervous about leaving her, but she will be in good hands. I am thinking she might back to school on Thursday or Friday. Not sure how that is going to go. Maybe half days at first. She is used to propping her leg up all the time to get greater extension, I guess they will accommodate her at school and let her have a chair in each class. State testing is next week, so she really needs to be there next week from 8:30-11:30, at the every least. Not too worried about school, I have been in contact with all her teachers and the counselor, they have been really sweet. 

I think I forgot to mention before that they got her new ACL from her hamstring.
