Doesn't she look better?
After 4 LONG days in the hospital, the doctor hesitantly sent us home. He said Grayce still had her pneumonia and didn't sound great, but she was keeping her oxygen levels up on her own and was starting to drink too. So, the official quote was, "We can't do anything for her here that you can't do for her at home." So, we grabbed our stuff, signed some papers, and ran out the door (actually Grayce got to ride out in a wagon). We (Grayce and everyone else) were all ready to go home.
Grayce has done amazingly well now that we are home. She has been eating well (she had lost 1 1/2 pounds - and for a 22 pounder, that is a lot!) and sleeping well, and is more and more back to her normal self again. It is such a great thing to watch (on this side of it anyway).
She has had two follow-up doctor visits in the last week and they both went really well. The doctor told us on Thursday that we are out of the woods with her now. However, his orders were to keep her away from other people for another 3 weeks. That means the kids' friends don't get to come over, no visiting teachers, no church, no taking her to the store, etc. It has made for long days of being completely stuck inside. I didn't realize how nice it was to get out of the house every once-in-a-while until I couldn't do it anymore. But, if it keeps her well...
Anyway, we just want to say thanks again to all of you that called, visited, helped us with our other kids, prayed for us, etc. You will never know how much help that was to us. We are truly blessed with great friends and family.
