~No Place Like Home~

We are home! It is such a blessing to be home 1-2 weeks before our expected time. We were discharged yesterday morning. We came home, had lunch, and slept and slept. It was great being home in our own beds, sleeping without interruption. Carlos worked from home half the day, so he made sure we got to sleep, which was just great.


The day quickly got a bit hectic with dinner, laundry, and kids (& a hubby) with wants and needs. Later that evening a good friend reminded me that "I was ahead of the game coming home early" so just to take it one thing at a time.

Last night was a bit of a challenge, Ari decided she wanted to be up at 2am and was not happy. Carlos brought her to bed with us and she tossed and turned and fussed. So I checked her oxygen levels and she made me nervous because her levels were in the low 90's. It wouldn't be bad if that was her base, but at the hospital she was in the high 90's. I gave her a treatment and it seemed to help. She then slept in her crib again til about 4am, started crying again, so I brought her to bed with us. Then she was up at 630. We will have to work on getting her back into a normal schedule.

This morning we are working on getting back into a normal homeschool schedule. I'm taking a moment between children to update you all. I tried to update you all yesterday a few times and then got busy. Big difference being home from the hospital.

She will see her doctor again this week and another doctor next week. In 4 wks she will have another bronchoscopy done to see how all is healing. That should be a one day thing, not overnight. They say they may have to do some stretching/dilating in the future, but we'll see.

~It's good to be home. Thank you all again for your prayers.
