Courtney is coming home today!
She was supposed to come home on Saturday but she kept getting fevers off and on. The physicians did labs and a chest x-ray to see what was going on. Her labs came back normal and her x-ray showed nothing as far as pneumonia or obstruction. They were unsure as to whether or not it was withdrawals from her medication still or maybe a visitor had given her a bug that they didn't know they had. The docs wanted her to go 24 hours without a fever before sending her home and at 4 am today it was 24 hours.
I am beyond happy that she is coming home.
Now as far as hospitals our visits will be few and far between (knock on wood). I know that with how hard it was to have her away from home that prayer helped. If I hadn't turned to God in this time of need I am sure I would have fell into a desperate state and not been so optimistic.
Now my baby girl can move her legs without being in pain and I will be able to get her dressed in the morning without it being a 30 minute task which would end in her crying and me being somewhat frustrated.
I have to be careful with how her back is positioned just because of the stitches but other than that she is not under any other restrictions. She will have a follow up visit in 4 weeks and then the only time we will have to go to Primary's is if she gets sick or to manage the spasticity in her arms. That usually consists of Botox injections every 6 months. Every 6 months is something I can definitely handle.
I appreciate everyone reading our Blog and praying for our family. Xoxoxo
