Day 4 - We're home!

We're home and it feels great!

Ashlynn had a pretty good last night despite the interruptions.  From the moment she woke up, she couldn't wait to get back in the wagon.  We should have been counting the number of times we went up and down those halls!  She also showed off by crawling despite the No-No's on her arms.  Late morning our plastic surgeon and the pulminary doctor clear us to go home.  We were sent home with only some pain medication and no more antibiotics or nebulizer treatments.  Ashlynn will have a post-op follow up next week.

We got home mid-afternoon while the boys were still at school.  Ashlynn seemed glad to see her familiar surroundings again but she was more frustrated than she'd been in the last day with her No-No's.  She just can't play with her toys the way she is used to.  When she sat in her highchair, she expected to get her usual favorites.  She was disappointed to only be offer apple sauce and pudding by spoon and no finger foods.  She's unhappy about losing some of her hard-earned independence.  Hopefully the next ten days will go quickly!

Ashlynn gave the boys a big smile when they got home.  It's heart warming to see the bond they have already formed.  It's great to have everyone under one roof again!  And seeing all the "sick" kids at the hospital these last few days has reminded us how truly blessed we are!!

Thanks for all the prayers sent for Ashlynn's recovery.  We are thankful to have this week behind us!

This is the best thing about this place!

Let's go home!

And you thought these "No-No's" would slow me down

 

It's good to be home!
