WE ARE HOME - YEAH!!!!!!

Courtney was ready to go early this morning, but there was lots of paperwork to take care of before we could be officially released. We stopped by the pharmacy to get prescriptions filled and found that the pharmacy did not have the pain medicine. I had to go back out to a different pharmacy and then they could only fill the pain medicine and had a call back to Vanderbilt about the others. I got the pain medicine and picked up lunch for all of us and came home.

I will go back out later to get the other medicine and have to pick one of them up at Vandy tomorrow.

Courtney had one spell where her shoulder was hurting her, but once she took her pain medicine, she is doing fine. We have a bed setup in the living room, where she will be staying for awhile. She is lying down talking on the phone and looks like she doesn't have a care in the world. :-) She is very excited about being home on her birthday though, and has told us numerous times that she is not 12 anymore, she is 13.

10:30 PM - Courtney has had a good evening at home. Jenn and I both took a nap late this afternoon while she was napping. Then Courtney ate supper (ate all of it) then wanted to play school. She has been sitting in the play room for several hours now playing school without any pain. She has also been to the bathroom several times and seems to have her bowels working good now. :-)

Hopefully she will have a good night's sleep at home.

Thank you for your continued prayer support.
