Being released to Ronald McDonald House has been great for both Alexandra and us! She is able to play in the playrooms here and get a lot more sleep than in the hospital. On Friday we were able to get her out in some fresh air for the first time in over three weeks. Yesterday, we traveled a short distance to a huge mall. It was great walking around and looking through stores just like we would do back home on a normal Saturday afternoon.
Today we took her to the Please Touch Museum which everyone said is a “must see.” She had a great time in all the different areas, but the supermarket and kitchen were her favorites. She could have stayed all day in just those two places.
We have really enjoyed being all together for the weekend, as we prepare for testing tomorrow to determine whether or not we can be discharged completely. Based on how well she has been doing this weekend, I’m quite sure it is only a matter of a couple days before we are on our way home finally!
