Mere words cannot describe the feeling we had when we pulled up to our house today after being away for over a month! We were met by balloons everywhere, beautiful pictures and sentiments done in colored chalk all over our driveway, a red runner on the sidewalk up to the front door and a big welcome home sign for Alexandra. It was quite the royal welcome! I don’t know who did it yet, but it was greatly appreciated.
After an afternoon of testing yesterday, while Alexandra still has a bit of pericardial fluid, it was decided that she was well enough to be released to her local cardiologist. Her oxygenation level even tested at 100, which we never thought we would see. The high 90’s had been the most we had ever hoped for, so we were very pleasantly surprised.
It will take us several days to unpack and get settled, but there really is no place like home!
