Finally Home......February 26 & 27, 2011

Friday afternoon was Paizlie's upswing. We had an awesome Respiratory Therapist help her through out the day and at 2:00 pm her nurse came through the door and said, "I think Paizlie just made her step up. I've been watching her from outside and she just improved immensely. Let's turn her oxygen down." So, her nurse kept coming in every hour and turning her oxygen down. She went from 2 liters all the way down to .5 liter. (.5 was our MAGIC number to get us out of the hospital.)

She stayed on .5 liters all through the night and when her doctor came in Saturday morning he announced it was time for her to leave. Yeah! He did send her down with all the monitors and oxygen to help her finishing recover.

It was so cute because when Sam and I loaded her into the car Saturday afternoon and we pulled out the hospital she started grinning from ear to ear. She jibber jabbered all the way home.

Sam and I were right, when she made the upswing it would be fast and it was. I guess I should have know it was time for her to leave because Saturday morning she didn't seem so scared of her nurse or R.T. When the nurse came in to give her her medicine she sat straight up, didn't cry, didn't fight and took it like a big girl. Also, when the R.T. came in to give her breathing treatment and suction her nose out, she just laid down and started to whimper. I am sure she was thinking, "just hurry and give it to me." I was laughing at how cute and good she was being.

It is good to be home. She is making amazing progress. This morning, Sunday, her doctor called and told us to start weening her off the oxygen and breathing treatments. Hopefully, tomorrow she'll be able to run around without anything tying her down. We're grateful for our blessings and that she is almost done with this illness.

Right before we left...
Paizlie was SO EXCITED to be in the car and on her way home!

Grandpa Jerry and Grandma Bobbi came to visit her and bring Hadlie, Daxton, and Tage home. They sleep over at their aunts Stacey's house Friday and Saturday night. Thanks Stacey coming and getting them. They had fun.

Of course, I let her have some batter. Yummy!
