Home Sweet Home

My apologies for the last post. I realize it was not formatted correctly, and it was confusing to say the least. This post will be more concise.

We are home! Olivia is sleeping in her own bed - she has been there for about 4 hours. We were supposed to be discharged yesterday, and in fact heard at 1 p.m. that the pediatrician was working on the discharge papers. For whatever reason we were delayed and it was about 8:15 p.m. when the new pediatrician came into the room and told Dave she didn't know why we were still there. I guess the communication was still bad. Dave and I decided it would be too hard on Olivia to leave at that point, so we opted to spend another night.

When the doctor came in this morning, Dave laid out his plan: Discharge by 9 a.m. I don't know how he did it, because I wasn't there, but they took him seriously. We walked out the door at 9:15.

Olivia usually drinks Boost Kid Essentials 1.5 orally, but she hasn't been interested in that since the surgery. She had been given Pediasure 1.5 (a similar product, but different brand -- Coke vs. Pepsi, if you will) through her G Tube and has tolerated it very well. Her medicines have been given to her through the tube, but her seizure medicine, Topamax, gets stuck, so we will give it to her orally. One good thing, she has been drinking apple juice orally. It's like her candy, so I didn't expect she'd have a problem with that.

I have heard from a couple people that they aren't able to post replies on here. I'm sorry about that, but I don't know what went wrong. If you would like to comment, you can get in touch w/ me through Facebook, or you can email me at dsojrevans@gmail.com.
