We're home!!

Thanks to all who made our homecoming so nice...clean trucks, mowed lawn, clean house, washed clothes, etc, etc...thank you all!! Martin and I have had so much fun with our two big girls tonight...we missed them a lot...and they were both sooo sweet tonight. I was so relieved and excited to find that they were glad to see us...(during Lydia's last hospital stay, Elise reacted with anger when she visited at the hospital after she hadn't seen us in a couple of days...that was hard on my heart.) It's great to be home!!!

Lydia had another big snooze on the plane ride home. I think she likes flying. :) Her fever went up a little again tonight...101.6 We'll continue to keep a close eye on her...the surgeons in Atlanta don't seem to be concerned. I called them tonight to also check on some bleeding from her incision site...not sure if it was normal or not. The dr said that it is probably just from the skin and because she's been moving around. I actually have noticed that she is moving that leg less...it must really be bothering her. :( The dr told me to put additional gauze for pressure on top of the original dressing to help stop the bleeding. He said that if the whole pad becomes saturated with blood, I should take the bandage off and apply pressure for 10-15 minutes before redressing it....I would probably opt to take her to the dr if that happens. I would trust what they do more than myself.

We received our notes from Dr Schoffner about Lydia's testing...I'll try to pass it along...you'll see why the issues are so complex and difficult to understand. I'll try to email it to those whom I have email addresses for....please pass along to others interested in reading. If you have info about how to upload it to this blog...pass that along to me too. I tried a little to figure it out...gave up.
