Today is such a great day. We arrived at the hospital this morning expecting a few more days in the Pediatric ICU, only to be told that the surgical team thought Reagan was doing so well that she could come home this evening! We were thrilled! We can't stop watching the video monitor of her sleeping in her crib upstairs. This is the most amazing feeling ever. Oakley is curiously optimistic about his little sister. We have our first appointment with her pediatrician tomorrow. We will be visiting Dr. Hoehner, the pediatric surgeon, next Friday morning to learn the pathology results of the neck mass. Please continue to keep Reagan in your prayers this week. We have been humbled by the overwhelming support of calls, emails, messages, meals and offers. Thank you. We remain awed by God's blessings.
I remember how excited Roger and I were when we were able to take our babies home. Son Jay was born Dec. 18 and daughter Mary Beth was born Dec. 27. So, before we picked them up at the hospital to take home, we wrapped a cardboard box in Christmas paper, then put a pillow in it. When we got them home, we put them in the wrapped box under our Christmas tree. I still love looking at the pictures of this.
ReplyDeleteWaiting for test results is so difficult. I wish it didn't take so long - another week. Keep the faith and I will too. I will keep all of you in my prayers and all of you are in my thoughts each day.

I know this time will be difficult for you. Just know that I am praying for all of you daily and thinking of you constantly during the day. What a beautiful little girl Reagan is! Keep the faith!
