WE ARE HOME!!!

And that's about all I have time to blog right now! We did rounds at Cincy Children's at 9:30. The team agreed he could be discharged. Somehow we were able to get an ambulance today. Usually that takes 24 hours to arrange. The discharge nurse said yep, they'll be here at noon! We started scrambling around like crazy. You'd think 2.5 hours is enough time to get us packed up and ready, but you'd be surprised at how much packing, organizing, arranging, etc there is. And breakfast, I had to have some food, dangit.

The ambulance was absolutely on time, but it took us about 45 minutes to finally get on the road. Hit a little construction on the way home, but nothing horrible. Never completely stopped traffic, thank goodness, because that makes me cray-cray. Got Colby home and into his bed about 3:00. Since then, as you can imagine, it's been crazy. Colby needed his feeding. Colby needed to be changed. Colby needed his next round of respiratory treatments. The nurse supervisor came over at 3:15 to do Colby's resumption of care. So now we can have nursing start back with us. The nurse we usually have on Wednesdays is able to work tonight. She'll be here at 6:00. When she gets here, I'll run down to Kroger and get the 4 prescriptions Colby needs to continue to completely get over this illness!

Right now I don't know whether to scratch my watch or wind my butt. Lots to do. I think it's safe to say I'm on the frazzled/practically exhausted side of life. But so thankful to be home, I could poop rainbows. Ready to get back to our "normal" lives, whatever that may mean. I have a wonderful friend bringing over white chili and cornbread for supper. Love her! One less thing I have to worry about.

Will blog again soon. Just let me get some things caught up around here. I have had time to listen to the 14 voice mail messages I had on my home phone since we've been gone. They were all Colby related, of course. Imagine that. Again, I know there were/are many, many people who care about us and were praying so hard for Colby to get better. I truly believe in the power of prayer. And the power of bronchoscopies, I believe in that also, haha.
