WE ARE GOING HOME TODAY!!!!!
After over a month in the hospital there is nothing more I want than to take a shower in my own home, sleep in my own bed, go grocery shopping, make dinner, and relax as a family. Oh it will be glorious.
Caroline is going home on two medications for her heart and medication for reflux. She is known as the baby with the bows, the "unique" A/V canal heart defect, and an amazing eater. She blew away the speech therapist, teacher, pediatricians, nurses, and cardiologists with how well she is eating. Normally cardiac babies have trouble going back to the bottle after surgery. Caroline is chugging it down (between screams due to reflux). We are going to have a chunker on our hands in no time!
While we LOVED the cardiology team at UVA, we hope to never have to see them again. In reality there is a good chance that we will be back for a mitral valve replacement in the future, but we will deal with that if and when we get there.
Today is a wonderful day.
Love,
Megan
