She's Home!!

Abigail was discharged today and it was a very joyous occassion to be in the car together going back home. Hooray! It was very nice to be back together as a family: Jaron was very happy to see his mommy, mommy was thrilled to see Jaron, daddy felt at peace now that his girls where home and Abigail went back to sitting and watching everything Jaron did out of her one un-swollen eye.

The recovery process is far from over as we have some home care to do and she will remain in pain and discomfort for quite some time. So although she is home, she is fussy and miserable so we still don't feel like we have our Abigail back quite yet. She is still swollen significantly and can only see out of one eye. But underneath all of that, we can easily tell it is Abigail and are so anxious to have her healed and back to normal.

One of the key ingredients for this weekend is to do a whole bunch of nothing. Do what we need to do but otherwise just rest, relax, play with the kids and sleep. It has been a long time since we've had a weekend like that and we are really looking forward to it. Each of us needs to recover in some form after the past week.

So I'm going to get started on the weekend and I'm going to go sleep....
