Home Sweet Home!!!!!


Yeah!!!!! We are finally home!!!!! We got home about 12:45 and we are soooooo happy! We thought we might have been able to come home Saturday but her incision started oozing alot I guess I wouldn't say gushing but the doctor who was checking her said it was peeing (oops, no more G rating for our blog) It was a bit scary but things slowed down. The Doc wanted us to stay another day to make sure she didn't get an infection so on Sunday we were expecting the get the go ahead to leave but they wanted one more day to make positive sure she was ok. Whew! We have to go on each week to get her blood checked and she will have to have shots of lovenox for about a week till the cumiden kicks in and her levels are what they need to be. She was very happy that we are home. She was a little worried about going up the stairs but she made it fine. She wont go back to school till maybe Thursday or so and only for a half day. We'll see how much she tolerates. Wow! that was a LOOOONG 2 weeks!! We are so grateful for all the prayers in her behalf. We are thankful that Heavenly Father has blessed her so much and that we still have her with us. I'll post some pictures soon! Thanks for the cards and well wishes too. We love you all!!

Hip Hip Hooray! Isn't it a wonderful feeling to come home after a long stay at the hospital. It is wonderful but scary at the same time! I am so glad she is doing so well. We have missed seeing her happy face at church! Welcome Home!
