Homeward Bound
We're expecting to be released from the hospital tomorrow!! Yeah! The last 24 hours have seen dramatic improvements. Sophie is now taking regular old Tylenol and seems to be pain free. All the tubes and wires have been removed except for one IV line that's not even hooked up to anything. She's not quite up to her regular squirming, but her mood is almost a cheery as usual.
It's definitely at the stage where it's better to go home because you can't get any rest in a hospital. She would have slept through the night last night if it weren't for the pesky tech coming in every four hours to take vital signs. Daytime is even worse because you add doctor visits, X-rays, EKGs,... Tomorrow should be busy with all the before-you-get-released check-ups and training. Then she can get some good rest.
We are so thrilled with how this week has gone. It's so wonderful that her heart is fixed!

Sorry we haven't responded sooner (my sister had her baby Wednesday and by the end of the week, we were all sick) but we've been following Sophie's progress. Sounds like things are going great for you guys! We are SO happy for you all! What a relief to have this behind you; we hope and pray that this surgery gives her heart the healing it needs to have your beautiful little girl grow healthy and strong.-The Riepes
