Home?

There is talk of us going home today...or tomorrow. We just have to get off the oxygen. She is allowed to eat and drink whenever she wants. She is in a great mood despite the frequently interrupted sleep last night. They are weighing her frequently to make sure she is getting rid of enough fluids..if not she'll need more lasiks. In fact she finally fell asleep for a nap and they came in 20 min later and weighed her. We had another chest x-ray (that makes 4 in a week) at 6 am. They are switching her antibiotic to an oral one and also switching her steriod to oral. Please pray that she takes the steriod. It doesn't taste good and is twice a day. We are going to start with crushing it and putting it in yogurt...the doc said that even adults wont' take the liquid cause it tastes so bad...and they understand why they are taking it. If her oxygen stays at a good level (even while she is sleeping...which is really hard to do) then we will be home today. I cant' even imagine sleeping in a real bed with no bells or whistles going off...and no masked people entering my room at random hours of the night. The other night I woke up and a large man with a mask was quietly entering my room. It took a moment to realize that it was a medical person. I laughed to myself because that just shows how weird my life is. Any other time or place a large masked man enters my room and I freak out completely. But this is just normal for hospital life. I'm ready to be home.
