Update On Brai After Surgery!! 

Brailee and Kaylis relationship is my absolute favorite!

“No they’re not. Brushing your teeth is important.” 😂😂Layla is the comedic relief

Brai Brai I know you will have a speedy recovery. Remember that even when you think you are okay try your best to listen to the doctor or your recovery will take longer. I had a friend in soccer have the same tears from a knee to knee collision and she kept walking on it and made her recovery process longer. You also have a great mom who takes care of you! Love the entire family. Your personalities are so pure

I had that same knee brace after my surgery and I recommend having 2 plastic stools in the shower, one for sitting on and the other to rest your leg on. It was so much better than trying to stand in the shower with one leg. You've got this Brai!

Layla’s makeup look is the cutest!

Layla toting the 🐶 around was so me at that age with my cat at that age. Patient pets are so special.

Tip from a hospital Physiotherapy assistant here: when going up and down stairs with crutches if you're allowed to put weight on your operated leg, hold onto the rail if you have one, and remember that the good leg (non operated) goes up first when going up the stairs, and bad leg (operated) goes down first when going down the stairs. Sending love!! Also, the cryocuff is fantastic, use it lots!

I hope Brai has a quick recovery!!! I am glad she is doing better each day!! Also I love Layla's makeup!!

Literally laughed out loud when Kayli goes “yeah I’ll go out my swimsuit on”😂😂😂 Feel better Braillee !! Praying you recover soon and although you can’t cheer I’m excited for all the new passions you develop in the upcoming year ! The best is yet to come ❤️☺️

I hope you have a speedy recovery!! I am just a year fresh out of ACL surgery myself! I got it back in May 2020 before the pandemic started! Just keep icing and definitely keep up with all the PT tips and exercises at PT and at home and you’ll feel better in no time!

Happy healing Brai! Layla is getting so big! I have been a long time follower and love catching back up! Love and light from Minnesota. 🥰

I hope you have a speedy recovery, Brai! You’re a trooper!!

I’m so glad Brailee is feeling good! Also, love Layla holding Rosie in the background

Proud of you Brailee continue prayers for you... Hang in there you’re one tuff young lady...

You're doing great, Brai! And you have a really sweet mama!

Brailee!!!! You’re a champpp!!! I’m so proud of you ❤️!!!! Ik how you feel I tore my ACL back in March & had to get surgery in April. It gets better day by day & when you start physical therapy. I love you Queen please keep your head up 🤍🤍🤍!!!

Good to hear you are recovering well brai. And you’re doing a good job looking after her Kayli.

Everything you do after surgery is a HUGE ACCOMPLISHMENT! Keep it up!

Hope for a speedy recovery💖

I had the same surgery when I was 17 and missed my junior year season of soccer! You got this and you’ll come back stronger! Best advice: work hard in physical therapy when you get to that point, it sets you up for a strong recovery :) 5 years later and I have no issues with my knee!

Brai is so tough 💖 you are such a super mom pushing through as well ♥️ have a beautiful day

Hoping you are better and better each day!

You are such an amazing mom !

I had the exact same surgey on my knee over a year ago! But my meniscus was torn right through (bucket handle tear) and I had an ACL reconstruction. The first week was super painful for me but it gets better! It is a tough recovering more so mentally beacuse it is so frustrating not being able do all the normal things. But in the end it is SO worth it and before you know it you will be looking back glad that you went through it all. All the best! Xoxo

laylas makeup is on fleeeeeekkkkkkkkkkk

She is doing amazing and even just getting up the stairs is a huge accomplishment. It’s a step in the right direction big time. I had the same surgery as her and slept on the couch for a lil longer then a week so she is doing amazing. I recommend for the shower if you don’t have a bench in it to buy some type of chair so she can sit down is she needs to rest so she doesn’t fall this was a huge help with me. Also Ik it might seem to her she’s not doing well because she is struggling to do little things but it will go by so fast and before she knows it she will be walking and bending her knee. You got this and keep your head up.

Brailee your doing so good, your a tough cookie choosing not to take anymore pain meds, good choice. Your Mama is taking such good care of you. Take care sweet girl .It will be all over soon and life back to cheerleading and all the other things you do. Stay rested and safe.

Wishing you a speedy recovery sweetie 💕🍀

Brailey please keep listening to your doctor’s instructions for recovery as you will be that much more ahead. You have such a supportive and caring mom who is there for you always and wants the best for you and continue to be grateful for her being that way. She is such a gift in your life as well as your dad and the rest of your family. My mom was not supportive or there for me in my life. So work every day to have an awesome relationship with your mom and your dad. 🌺

I had knee surgery in the summer of 2019 and I had the same feeling after mine. I had to relearn how to walk/run/lift my leg during physical therapy after it. It’s really hard to recover but I know she can do it!! You’re not alone Brai!!

I had knee surgery 2 months ago!! Aw Brai! I hope you have a speedy recovery!! Always celebrate your little accomplishments girl. Also I remember my brain not comprehending, it really considered me😂your a trooper! Prayin for you Brai🤍

Pain pills are changing so much! I’m glad your doctor talked to you about the pills. I never heard after 6 days! Wow! I wish more doctors did that! Speedy recovery!

Who’s that boy next to brai? Where’s lakai

I had 2 foot surgeries last year with 6-8 weeks of bedrest for each and it is really hard to be immobilized. The recovery hurts absolutely but in the moment it feels like forever. Then physical therapy feels like forever. But honestly and truly when you get out of the rough season it becomes easier to forget the drudgery

Yes, Layla, I like your face!!! Feel better soon, Brai!!! Love you guys!!! 💖💖💖

hope you have a good recovery brai stay strong ily all soo much

Get well soon brailee I hope you have a fast recovery the mother and daughter time it's amazing how you all are with each other I think little one she's going to be the same and the way she looks after brailee to she's going to be one miss independent take care get well soon hun

Great job Brailee, I’ve had 15 knee surgeries and I know the best thing was when I could take a shower. What pain meds did the doctor put you on was it Oxy?

Glad you're doing so good Brailee!!!

It will get better every day , hang in there ! Do everything your Dr says to do don’t rush it . Count your days for getting your stitches out . I had reconstructive surgery in the middle 80s ( yes I am old ) I have a big ass scar with 29 staples . Your scar looks great . They have much better technique today than they used to have . Good luck ! Get a cast cover to keep her leg dry works much better than plastic bags .

I had knee surgery almost 10 years ago (2013) I had a cadaver ACL put in and my meniscus fixed so it was an ACL reconstruction surgery with meniscus repair

The most gorgeous family ever❤️

I'm happy you are healing so well Brai! Be patient and heal property. 🙏🏻👍🤗😇😎❣️

Awh I hope to be the kind of mom that you are one day ❤️❤️

Congratulations on your recovery

I love that doctors tend to err on the side of caution with pain medication, especially when giving them to young teenagers. We have such a big painkiller addiction worldwide & it truly can happen to anyone from any walk of life, education never hurts! Painkillers serve a purpose but it’s really good to be informed. I’m in longterm morphine for 2 chronic genetic disabilities, but I’m under doctor care, i push through pain daily because I don’t enjoy taking it but some days / weeks I can’t function (pain wise) & have to be sensible. It’s sad that at 34 / nearly 35 I’ve found myself in this position. I weighed up all options & tried everything before going down this route, it’s actually nice to hear doctors take it seriously & give warnings about the dangers. Brai has been so brave, she’s a tough cookie! Xx

I have had 4 knee surgeries and I’m 29! 16,18, 27(I had two) you can do it. Use the ice machine like crazy!!!! And moving your leg hook your ankle on your good leg to the bad leg and move it that way! The physical therapy is key! You can do it! I find that the ice machine was better then the pain meds. When ever it hurt I iced it.

Feel ya brai! I have a fractured vertebrae in my back and just got told I have to stop all activities and have to wear a back brace for almost a year. I’m devastated. we can recover together brai! Praying that you fully heal

The best thing that can help is the use of Ice and heat to help with blood circulation . The thing with showers is not to scrub hard very entle on the leg with surgical areas they can come open.

I just had acl surgery it definitely is not fun for the first like 5-6 days then its starts to get better from there! I’m now a month post op and doing everything on my own that i did before surgery, just not the obvious things like running. I pray that you have a nice fast recovery, and just know you are not in this alone! I felt that it was gonna be so so hard and don’t get me wrong it is difficult but not as difficult as I thought but everyone is different i thought you would like hearing from someone who has also gone through the same thing! So i hope you are inspired by this. Those 9 months will go faster than u know it!

After my 1st c sec I took pain meds the first day home then just Motrin. The last 2 c sections only in the hospital that’s it. I don’t like taking meds and it scares me! Feel better Brai fast you will be up in no time. Enjoy the rest and pampering

You got it Brailee❤️

I was incredibly sick for about 18 months of high school. I ended up having to transition to home school and I constantly encouraged my friends to come sit in my bedroom with me. And those are some of my best memories! Tell them to come over and you can all have a great time. 😂🎉

Layla wearing red lipstick is the best. Not many people can wear it but she has it going on.

Brailee I hope you have a speedy recover, I’m still struggling with my knee surgery. MPFL due to skateboarding :( Kayli, where did you get brailees bed!? My daughter loved it🙂

Wise words Layla, brushing your teeth is definitely important 😁💖 Still sending lots of healing love and prayers to you Brailee ❤️ Remember to keep listening to the Doctor and don’t try to rush recovery or it take longer, you got this Brai 😁

I had knee surgery in September and felt the exact same way!! When she said “I felt like a toddler trying to walk” I told my physical therapist that exactly😂

Brai 🤣 nice to laugh about the silly moments in all this.

Kayli you left a second of a new boy with Brai

I'm in the same knee brace Brailee, recovery buddies ! :D you're doing great!

aw layla is growing up so fast i love that you allow the babies in your bed until they get ready to leave it helps with so many emotional problems and mental health issues i think my boarderline personality disorder started way before i was a teen it started to show more around that point partly because my mom would always make me go back to my own bed even though i had a bad dream or anything (anxiety attack from my autism) but i was about 4 so i didnt know that

Layla is probably the cutest little girl on the internet. I swear she should have her own podcast of her wise words haha

Love ànd good wishes to brai❤️❤️

I'm so proud of her. She is so tough!!

I didn't know that there were multiple small incisions from that kind of knee surgery, and I have have one long incision. I am praying that Brailee's recovery goes super smoothly. I am very impressed with how Brailee is off of prescription pain meds, and how all she needs at that point is Tylenol. I hate sleeping in a big bed alone as I am married, I am also a military spouse (my husband is in the Louisiana National Guard).

Brailee, you're a one brave girl, with heart and soul. And when the leg is healing, it will become a miracle.😊💙💙💙💙💙💙👍. So...yeah. Take care everyone and god bless!😊😙💙💙💙💙🙏😊⭐⭐⭐⭐👍

Get well soon Brailee. 🥰❤️🙌😜🦄💜💞

You are a great Mom

Layla is like a mini Brailee all over again lol she is adorable

The most beautiful kindly loving 🥰 mother> Kayli 💕 Get well soon Brailee ☺️ Portland Oregon USA 🇺🇸

what surgery did she have for her knee ?

Ouch that looks painful praying Brailee fully and quickly heals. I know what it's like with some of those medicines, there were some I couldn't deal with so I had to stop taking those, and rely on over the counter and over the counter is usually better than the prescribed medicines.

Also going down the stairs hurt more than going up for me for some reason! It was counterintuitive

😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️ Layla is soooo awesome!

Hope you are feeling better,, Braille.

Yeah it is so painful I broke my foot then they wanted a mri and we found out that I severed a a ligiment and I had to have surgery and it hurt so bad

For Brailee's recovery ❤❤❤❤❤💐💐💐💐💐

I’ve had many surgeries in my life and brailees incision looks better than any of mine did, especially after three days. I’ve had brain surgery and spine and both of those incisions looked narly for a while. It looks like she’s doing great though. Just keep up on the pain meds and you’ll be fine lol. The little things like getting up to go to the bathroom and showering may not seem like much but it’s good to do those things. I have very fond memories of my recovery periods even though I was high on pain meds lol.

I had knee surgery and my surgery was very uncommon and I have seven screws in my leg because both of my knees have dislocated all of my life. My left knee is the worst. I am getting surgery on my right knee in September.

I noticed Brailee had her hospital wristband on... what a cutie!

Any medication that is prescribed is needed and with the internal surgery the pain is going to be much more.

Man, the mental part is the worst. Wanting to do so much & not being able to is tough. She’s got the best care though so she’ll have a great recovery. 👍🏼

I only took my pain medication after surgery only in the hospital and cut the pill it made me vomit once I got home I did not take the meds and tossed them

i just love the kids

My sister had knee surgery in April and she was miserable and she wanted to go do things but now she is out of her brace and doing physical therapy and she is getting her plates removed in 4 months in the beginning she was afraid to walk but the neighbors next door our physical therapist and said she can't baby it ever since she is healing beautiful

Hi cute Layla!!🥰

i had my acl reconstructed in may and everything she’s saying was me the entire time! i was always crying because i couldn’t figure out why my leg wouldn’t move 😂

Please listen to mom she's right I had the same surgery when I was 16 and with the pain meds I thought it was okay it wasn't hurting I went tubbing behind the boat a half a week after the surgery and now I am in a wheelchair because my knee gave out and the doctors will not do any surgery because I'm to young...

With pain killers they are needed and the doctor will take her off if she is getting sick is to let the doctor know. The best things you can have is yogurt that helps your body with pain killers and coates your stomachs .

Remember, there's always hope for a normal life♥️

As a person thAt has had acl surgery that is to stay on for a week and with the surgery area that is to remain covered until examined by the doctor. The bandage that is there is to give protection for the knee and the muscle area handling without gloves is not wise.

does Brai have a new boyfriend??

It's 1000 important to brush your teeth 😂🤣😂🤣

Hi

She really has a familiar resemblance to Cooper. At least, for me, I think of Coop when I see her…

Addiction is scary ! It’s always been like that doctors just didn’t say anything until it became a bigger issue and now they know more information and some probably feel guilty for giving people opioids!

I said that same thing when I was a teen and even in my 20s that I would never be able to sleep with anyone next to me in bed! It would be so uncomfortable! But now I can’t sleep without my bf next to me. Lol

good lil vid recover fast surgery does suck any kind and not being able to walk or do things

I found the easiest way to navigate stairs while recovering was scooting up and down on my butt! Reduced the chance of falling forwards or backwards

i might wait on exercising any type of exercise i think not resting caused more issues or there might not have been issues because with the bankrupt hospitals in america i trust nothing i understand that children now get taught to listen to authority and do everything anybody in power says but always better to ask the questions and listen to their own body and hold powers feet to the fire
