Daisy has tolerated being off methadone today fairly well. It looks like she is a drug free little baby now... awesome! Unfortunately we don't have many options when it comes to the seizure med (it is one of the safest and least likely for crazy side effects) One of our favorite nurses showed Christina a technique that works much better... so we will see how we do.
Today we received some exciting news.... we may be able to come home tomorrow. I do not want to get my hopes up too high but Daisy has been rock solid on all of her stats and metrics for some time now. We will find out more tomorrow.... but I am hopeful we will once again be together as a family very soon.
Christina picked up all of Daisy's meds that she will remain on when she comes home today from the hospital pharmacy. This is another great sign that a home coming is near. Woohoo.
I have been busy at home steam disinfecting everything. While we have done this a couple of times since she has been in the hospital... I am doing it again to ensure our little Daisy does not walk into another sickness... as we have had colds after flu. Now that we all seem to be past it or on the tail end of things... it is time to disinfect again. Hooray for really hot steam!
When speaking with the cardiologist the other day he recommended that I take one of the disposable stethoscopes that the hospital has to have at home. I am never one to want to take anything but my family home from the hospital (and the germs that come with it) and how good can a disposable stethoscope possibly be. I researched the stethoscope to have and came up with 3M Littmann. My friends at Amazon quickly shipped out a beautiful Master Cardiology stethoscope. I never imagined I would own this type of thing... nor did I think I would be excited to get it. Jeremiah and I had a blast listening to our heartbeats today. He requested that we "listen heart" right before he crawled into bed. He is amazed at the thump-thump coming from his and my chest.
OMG son, that is awesome news! Well if not tomorrow you know it will be soon! Please rest as you clean as you don't want a set back! God has been amazing to little Daisy! Thank you God! Made my whole year!! I bet Jeremiah is excited! It will be good to be under the same roof again! I bet he does like the stethoscope - how fun! It probably is just amazing to him as it should be to us all! :-)
ReplyDeleteWhen you all get home- let me know if I can drop groceries or anything off at the door- I know you are not going to want any germs for along time! Love you all! Air hugs!
