HOME!!!!

When Emmy woke up this morning with a smile to show for me, I knew it was time to fight to get her home. They were no longer supporting her in any way and I was told that if she would just drink, they could let her go.

Pushing buttons she is not supposed to? Yes, Em is back! I kept telling her that if she wanted to see Kylie she just needed to drink her juice. She seemed to understand that the juice was the only thing between her and the car and her sister. She drank like a champ and we were discharged at noon today.

We didn't have any clothes remaining at the hospital so I put my hat on her head and her shoes on her feet and set her down to walk out the door. She couldn't even stand on her own and when she tried to walk, she fell down. So I had her stand against the wall until they brought a wagon.

Sitting in the wagon, we finally headed out the door. Emmy was so excited that when we got outside it was like Christmas (she used to scream at all the lights every night). She was pointing at trees and grass and cars and screaming out what they were. It was very cute!

When we got home, we decided we needed a wrist band cutting ceremony...

Look at my band fall to the floor! Praise the Lord!!!!!!

I told the dr she would eat when we got her home. I knew I was right but even I didn't expect this...she ate everything we offered her, including straight sour cream. She is super skinny now...not much left to those legs and bum...she can eat straight lard if she wants it! :)

She saw the "tah coooookie" (star cookie) and when we gave it to her, she also dipped that in sour cream. Yummy.

So, she is home and back to her old self, although taking more naps. Her pulmonologist said it could take up to a month for the cough to go away and not to panic about that but just to watch her breathing and if she is straining again, that is when we bring her in. Definitely more on this later, but for now I just wanted to get the word out that she is home and thank you all for your prayers!!! God bless you all!
