We're Home!

Can you believe it? Taryn had a really good night last night. She had to have another Echo this morning because her daily x-ray caused a little concern with the Cardiology team during rounds. Everything looked great so they sent us home! Good thing too because she was starting to act like a caged animal in that hospital bed. She threw up what little milk I could get down her this morning but continues to drink only ice water from a straw. They aren't too concerned since she's not likely to eat only water and crackers forever. Bonnie said that Dr Hawkins will be surprised when he gets back on Monday because he thought for sure he would be seeing her then! She is so happy to be home and explore that she is refusing to take a nap, the only sleep she's had all day was in the car on the drive home! She is still on some meds for pain and such, thank goodness, she's going to need them as hard as she has played this afternoon. The kids are so happy to have her home. Bridget asked if we can finally start going to church as a whole family again, which we haven't done since the first week of December. We are looking forward to doing normal family stuff again. We feel so blessed and are grateful for all the fasting and prayers offered on our behalf! Thanks again for all the love and support!!!!

Wow!!! I'm thrilled for all of you. YOu have told me again and again that Taryn is a "fighter" and she sure proved that to be true again!!! Congratulations on such a speedy recovery. What happens now? When does she get seen again? Can you take that "big sigh" yet?

Welcome home! Wow, that is wonderful that she is recovering so well. I know church as a family after 4 months of keeping Jacob home was such a good thing. I love the photo of Taryn with her duck!

hugs & prayers,
