COMING HOME!!!

I had to openly confess that since Wednesday morning I have asked every nurse when we they planned on sending us home. It was selfish, I know. Isaac may have been ready, he may not have, but I wanted to be home with everybody too.

Friday morning started off much the same. New nurse, same question, "Do you know when they plan to send us home?" Tracy surprised me by asking if we were ready to go home. I told her we were and she replied by saying she would go see what she could do.

By 10:20AM we had the word, Isaac was going home! Absolutely amazing. He was 10 days old, been through open heart surgery, closing of his chest the next day, and had proven to the staff he was capable of continuing his recovery and growth at home!

It wouldn't be till nearly 4 PM that we actually left the hospital with all the paperwork and organizing. We needed to get portable oxygen, feeding tubes, pump, and bags, and discharge orders from the hospital. We were leaving, but we would be seeing the doctors plenty in the next 2 weeks.

Isaac in his car seat for real this time, we are driving home.

Isaac did it, he really did it! We are going home with a strong and healthier baby boy!
