We're Home

Lexi had a really good night last night. She slept the whole night without waking for pain medicine and she was able to keep her Oxygen Saturation levels in the high 90's without needing oxygen. Also, last night she had a bowel movement before she went to bed (that was another thing on her "to-do list" to be discharged.) We received the Echo report this morning and it looked good and was the same as when they did it after surgery. We went back to the playroom again this morning before we left while they were finishing the discharge papers to make some more pigs (paper plate pig craft) and we said goodbye to her new friend Cora. We left the hospital about 12 noon and had to look at all the beautifully decorated Christmas trees that they have put up around the hospital this last week. Lexi wasn't able to leave her floor/unit because of all her monitors and she kept asking the nurses if they were going to decorate the hospital for Christmas. She came home on a few different medicines (Ibuprofen, Lasix, and a pain medicine). Lexi hasn't really complained of too much pain today and is beginning to be herself again. It's wonderful to be back home and have all of our family under one roof and together again. Madison has been giving Lexi tons of hugs and kisses. Thank you all for your help, gifts, prayers, support, and love during this difficult time. We are very blessed with Lexi's outcome from the surgery and blessed to have family and friends like you.
