We're going home today!The docs did their rounds this morning and told us that everything looks good. She still has a very, very small pocket of air in her lungs, but they said that this will work itself out in a few days. She's off oxygen and her stats are still quite good.
She goes home with just over the counter pain medications, the heart medications she was on before we came to the hospital, and one diahretic to make sure that any excess fluid gets flushed out of the body.
My parents head back to Pennsylvania today, something that causes all of us some sadness. They have been more than help than they will probably know. My mom was hear from before the heart cath and it provided a real breathing space for Kristen especially as we prepared for the surgery.
Ahh...to sleep: perchance, to dream.
With joy and thanks,

We hope we'll be able to see you all soon, now that you've been sprung! Tell Claire that she made an otherwise "just okay" day really really happy and special! (But she does that every day, doesn't she?)
ReplyDeletePlease let us know how we can help, now that you're without your parents.
Joining in your joy and gratitude to God,
Cathy
I know Claire will be happy to be in her own bed tonight! We rejoice for all of you. These bodies and spirits that God gave us are so amazing, aren't they, in their capacity to heal?! Please let me know if I can help in any way now that your parents are returning home; safe travels to them.
