Almost home!

So, Kourtney is still in the hospital but she is doing much better then she was last week, but not wonderful. The Docs have decided that tomorrow (maybe monday) is the day that she is coming home. Even though her "baseline" is not were it was before her stay (she breaths faster, requires much more oxygen, has more seizures, and is agitated more easily and takes longer to settle down) they feel that this is her new "baseline" and that there is not much more they can do for her here so she is getting to come home. This is her longest hospital stay (not counting the NICU of course) and even though I am saddened that she can not go further along in the healing process it will be nice to have her home.

My two older kids have been very patient and understanding of her need to be here and of my need to be with her. They have spent almost all of their time at my mom and dads house (one night at my brothers) and I am grateful that I have family so willing to help. I know that it is hard on them and that they miss our "normal" routine, and just being with me and their sister (and their dad - but his is always at work so not much can change from that stand point). I am very happy that soon we will get to return to our regular life and not have to spend everyday at the hospital. On the up side Dree and Jax love to take showers in the hospital room and they think it is fun to wear the masks and the Child Life Specialist are always so willing to bring then toys and drinks :)
