Home At Last!

Yesterday we were discharged from Primary Children's Medical Center. Yes! It was just me, Matt, and Eli on the road (my dad had taken Isaac to Rexburg a few days before) and it felt awesome to take full responsibility of our child. We made it back to Rexburg around dinner last night. Isaac was so happy to see us, and we were so happy to see him! Isaac seems so big now, physically and intellectually. We now realize that we have a real toddler, not a baby. Last night with Eli was a bit of an eye opening experience for us. We have forgotten what it is like to have a little newborn. Even though he slept for four hours straight, Matt and I woke up every hour. And we are tired! But, we are just so happy to be home, and have our family together. Eli is doing really well, though he still needs to be on oxygen (his heart is still adjusting to the surgery). We have a tank oxygen that we take with us where ever we go, and he could be on oxygen up to 3 months. We are set up with a home nursing agency that will come from time to time to check Eli's saturation levels. Our next appointment with the pediatric cardiologist at Primary Children's is in 2 weeks, so we will go from there.
