22nd Day Post Surgery – Monday September 30, 10:00 PM
Its hard to believe but we are home. Well not actually home but my parents home until our home is at least livable. We finished up all the necessary things shortly after my last post and then we waited. Finally one of the Nurses came in and said you can leave when you want. It was close to a feeding time so we completed the feeding, stood up and walked right out of the hospital. What an unbelievable and wonderful feeling to put her in an infant car seat and drive away. I remember feeling relief that this part was over and now we can start focusing on the second surgery in December or January. I also remember wondering if she should be going home. Was she ready? What if something goes wrong? Do I know what to do? Despite all of those wandering feelings the happiness I felt completely overpowered any thought of doubt. Even now as I type this I cant keep from smiling. Isn't it wonderful!
When we pulled up to my parents place our kids came running out completely excited about having Lilee home. I could tell by the way they were responding they completely understood what having her home meant. They sure do love their little sister!
