Day 5 in the hospital and discharge!

Oh my gosh, we are finally going home this afternoon. Ellis got a potassium infusion, ekg, consult with heart team, and we’re waiting for discharge papers.

Cyclic vomiting is a beast to deal with, and the days seem so long with all the retching and vomiting. But thank the Lord that that is behind us and we can sleep comfortably at home and undisturbed.

I wish I had updated earlier since several people have texted me asking about discharge. Thank you for the concerned texts and all your encouragements.

Since my sleep had been erratic this week, my head felt like a floating 🎈 while helping Ellis to the bathroom with her iv pole, talking with doctors and nurses, etc. I’m going to collapse into bed tonight, relieved to be home and reassured that the whole family is together.

You all are special to me, and I appreciate every comment, visit, and like!! Blogging is like my virtual support community of friends.

Have a great start to the weekend and stay well. Esther

Today at the playground, looking for a Bluey friend’s mini figure we found yesterday and placed on top of this starfish structure. Nowhere to be found.
A big smile today!
mini figure: Mackenzie, the Border Collie. It was found on the ground, so we placed her up on the starfish for the owner to find or another kid to discover.

Welcome to my blog! My name is Esther and I'm so happy you are here. I'm an avid nature photographer and a daydreaming thinker. My posts revolve around photos of nature's beauty, homeschooling adventures with my 2 kids, sporadic reflections on my child's heart condition, Bible reading reflections, gardening feats, and other mish mash things. Hopefully you'll leave encouraged, pensive, or smiling at the simple things of life. Thank you for stopping by and hope you'll find some interesting posts to read!

    1. Ellis was much stronger on the last day and willing to take a walk to the playground. I still had the wheelchair with me, because she kept tripping. But she was ecstatic to be nausea free and to be out of the room.
