Home at last

Everything went amazingly wonderful in Portland and Friday afternoon the Dr. said she could go home. YEAH!!!!!! We really didn't want to spend the weekend there anyway. She was discharged late in the afternoon, so we checked into a hotel and slept. And slept and slept and watched a little tv.

Saturday we got up and drove home. I gave Heidi her meds and put her to bed in the back of the van and she slept most of the trip home. It is a long boring trip when you have no one to talk to. LOL

Last night we got her settled in her room and she slept some more. I was finally able to get some really good sleep also. Heidi is doing great, she is on pain meds and they seem to keep it under control. Emma was thrilled to have her mommy home, but only until I told her it clean up her bedroom, then she told me "to leave and go back to Portland, because dad doesn't make her clean her room."

We will be returning to Portland in Dec for a check up. But that will be by airplane and will be a quick one day trip. She will have the fixator on her leg until Feb. It is kind of cool, kind of like a erector set gone wild.

I'll take photos this morning when she wakes up.

Heidi would love visitors, but please remember that she needs her sleep and she doesn't need germs. If you are sick or have not been feeling well a phone call would be a better choice. We are asking everyone to hand sanitize when they do come over.

Heidi and Caralee, I am so glad to read that the surgery is a success. I wish both of you well and hope the healing goes as it's supposed to!
