Home sweet home

We got sprung last night around 7, which was a welcome relief as we expected to be there until this morning.  I figured out that in the last month we have been home, all together, for 5 days total.  And for those that are shocked by this, for some families that is a lot of time at home.  So I feel blessed that we have such a great facility so close to us that we get to have some time at home together, however short.  This is what I am grateful for today.  And some of the nurses have nicknamed Gracie, "Tinkerbell", because honestly she kinda looks like a Tinkerbell.  We are truly grateful for ACH and everybody in it.

Gracie is doing well, she is almost back to her usual self, however I am beginning to understand what some of the other parents were trying to tell me as the better part of our day is spent in front of the fridge, or a different cupboard or two saying "do you want this, do you want that" as she points and usually changes her mind before you even pull anything out.  But for the most part she is eating and drinking, so this is good.  She spent the majority of her day making mud pies with her new "mud pie makin kitchen" (thank god its nice out), anyone hungry?

We are glad to be home and are now in a holding pattern until we run some more tests which with any luck will be completed by June 3, we will then know where we are headed.  So hopefully (touch wood) there are no line problems, fevers, colds, diaper rashes, or any other nasty virus that comes our way and we can have some peace for a few weeks.

Take care,

Love and happiness to all
