We are home!!!!

Yes, you read it right!!  We have known for a few days that if all continued well, Tuesday would be our potential discharge day.  When we arrived this morning, Henry was "missing"... just down the hall having an echo.  He soon returned, followed soon after by his cardiologist, Dr. Rutledge.  She asked us if we wanted to take him home today.. Of course we do!! After some paperwork, some teaching by the nurse and pharmacist, we were on our way!!

Thanks to Ione Hooper for yet again helping us out.  She was lovely to come to RMH to take care of the boys while Hal and I got packed and ready to go.

It was a bit hectic getting out of the hospital, but we did manage one picture.  Owen and Magnus are in strollers and Henry is in the baby Bjorne with Mommie.

Thanks to Cathy Gardner for the delicious lasagna and fresh bread awaiting us on our arrival home.  Great comfort food for two very tired, but very relieved parents. Thanks also to Dave Boudreau and Dave Gardner for clearing the driveway.

Henry will see his cardiologist, Dr. Fruitman, in 1 week for a repeat echo and monitoring his progress. He will see his pediatrician, Dr. Yeung, in 2 weeks so Dr. Yeung can start to get to know the new Henry.

The only snag - chasing rare pediatric Cardiology drugs until 11 pm. Not exactly what we wanted, but heh, we are sleeping in our own beds tonight!

Yeah Henry - you truly are mighty and we are proud of you son!
