Home, Sweet Home!

A picture from Monday, when she was feeling good enough to play :)

After what can only be called a miraculous recovery, Lucy is home!  She was discharged last night and the three of us could not be happier!

The doctors are still stumped as to why she was so sick and why she got so much better without too much intervention on their part (actually, she got better when they STOPPED messing with her). Her recovery really started in earnest on Sunday night, after she had an enema (sorry, honey!!) to clear things out of her intestines and had the feeding tube removed from her nose (it was looped through itself a few times and part of it was looped in her lower esophagus, so must have been very irritating to her).  She had a good night on Sunday and then very slowly started perking up on Monday and began eating somewhat normally on Tuesday.

This is Lucy's "Throw Up" board that I kept for the docs and nurses at the hospital

Today, she is a little slow and still somewhat off balance but otherwise is back to herself.  SO HAPPY!

As always, thank you for your continued interest and encouragement throughout this journey.  Your calls, emails and texts mean a TON to me and Jason and we appreciate them so much.  And a special shout out to mom and dad for coming down to stay at our house and clean and do dishes and keep me company at the hospital so Jason could go to Philly for a work trip (at least he wasn't gone the whole time this time!!)

I'll write more later about how she's doing now that she is home and fill you in on some of the details of the last week later on.
