HOME!

Hi everyone! We are home and so happy to be here. Emma Grace still has a lingering low grade fever. I called the cardiology crew at TCH today, and the nurse said it's because she's not up and about enough. Her lungs may be collapsing. I told her it's because they told her not to be up and about! She acknowledged it's a fine line. So, Emma  Grace is not in bed and watching TV all day, much to her chagrin. We go to her pediatrician tomorrow for a routine checkup after heart surgery. We have a few more appointments at TCH to follow-up in the next few weeks. Those people who have seen her say she looks great - it's hard to believe heart surgery was a week ago! Tutoring with Mrs. Johnson begins this Saturday, and Ms. Ramirez has been babysitting some. We are grateful to be over the hump.

I'm still battling a stomach bug but am getting better day by day. This is all a process, but we are getting there! Thank you for all the texts and emails and phone calls and dinners and balloons (the list goes on). The nurses and doctors that came into Emma Grace's room all commented on all her cute gifts, especially the prayer chain from school. Tim and I have a loved daughter and could not be more thankful!
