Home Sweet Home

We are going home today!


Caroline is as surprised and thrilled as we are!



Balloons are so much fun!
Hard to believe and sooner than we ever dreamed, but they say that there is nothing more to do at the hospital! We'll be heading home this afternoon to continue Caroline's progress and recovery from the comforts of our own home. She did well over night. Her pain seems to be relatively well controlled, her fluid balance has improved, and her lungs are clear. She has a ways to go before we've reached the finish line, but we couldn't ask for better progress so far. We are so excited to have a warm shower, a home-cooked meal, and a nap in our own beds. Hopefully it will be a LONG time before we have to stay overnight at Seattle Children's again.
