Catherine is coming home today!!! Woo Hoo! The resilliency of kids never ceases to amaze me :) Today she has done much better and been able to eat a little so she can get off the morphine pump and transition to oral pain meds. She also got up and walked a little bit out in the hall. What a trooper she has been! This morning Dr. Sponseller came by and said as long as we feel comfortable caring for her at home, she is good to go. She was actually very chatty with him this morning about her new puppy waiting at home...it was SO good to hear her happy voice and see her smile!! After he left the nurse told us that Catherine must be "super special" ...she had never heard him talk so much; he usually leaves most of the questions/talking to his residents. I think he has a heart for Catherine as he has an adopted daughter himself! Catherine is not as excited as we thought she would be to come home...thinking she is a bit worries as she has felt so bad and continues to feel pretty yucky at times. Thank you SO much for all your prayers! Please keep them coming as we try to manage her care at home!
(From my devotional reading this morning: "I will trust in God and not be afraid. The Lord God is my strength and my song..." (Isaiah 12:2)
Great news!! Even with the discomfort, everyone feels better at home with family all around....and a puppy!! Loved the picture of you and Catherine...she is such a cutie!! Prayers for continued healing : )
