There's No Place Like Home

I just wanted a quick post to update on my daughter. We were able to bring A home on Sunday. After 11 days in the hospital (which included 7 days in ICU, 4 days in step-down, 6 days completely under sedation and 3 different trips to the OR) we were thrilled. She's still not out of the woods yet---she still has some crepitus, which are air pockets in her chest--but she's well enough to be home. We are under orders not to let her do strenuous activity or rough-house, which could cause the crepitus to spread, so we're trying to do quiet play. But she's doing great! We were even able to bring her to the fireworks last night. I am grateful to have her home
