HELENA IS HOME!!! We simply can't believe it, Helena is home. We went to the hospital this morning at around 8:30 and we were gearing up for at least one more night, maybe more. But, after the doctors rounded at around 9:30, they came to us and said "There is nothing more that we can do, do you want to go home today?" We said, "Are you kidding? Of course!" We made it home at around 4:00 and Helena seems much more comfortable. She is still in a bit of pain but we are able to control it with good old tylenol. We will keep working on increasing her food intake and making sure that she gets enough rest. She will need to keep her activity and contact with other people to a minimum for at least 8 weeks. The folks at Hope Children's hospital and the surgical team of Dr. Ilbawi are an amazing group. Just think of that, they operated on her heart and two nights later she is home. I am still trying to wrap my ahead around that one! We think that our baby is part superhero!
