Ivy has proven over her last 8 days in the hospital that she is still wolverine baby. After a rough day yesterday, waiting for a sedated echo, and not being allowed to eat because of it, we were ready to be done with the hospital. So imagine our excitement of being let out today!! Scott and I walked off the elevator into the Surgical unit, and they informed us we could leave even before we walked in Ivy's room. So exciting. We were home (well, Marde's home in Sandy) before 1:00pm. Ivy is doing well, although she is going to have to be on oxygen for a while again, and she got one new medication. We have to be careful picking her up and putting her down for about six weeks, but other than that, we can play and be normal again. We are so happy with her, she amazes us everyday. We are going to stay here until the weekend to give her chest a little more time to heal before she's strapped into the carseat for such a long drive, but at least we don't have to go to the hospital anymore, or leave her there crying and broken hearted at our walking away. 8 days is WAY better than 7 weeks, we'll take it!
Last night, after she was finally allowed to eat again.
After we arrived this morning. She was so happy to see daddy, who she hadn't seen since Sunday.
Getting ready to go.
Bye, bye Drs, and nurses, I won't miss you!
Eating and playing with her shoes right before we left. Life is good again!
