We are Home

Debbie brought Sarah by the hospital about 5:30 this evening, so that she could come home with us. Rebekah was free to go at about 6 this evening and by the time we had everything packed up and ready to go it was closer to 6:45.

We had to be careful on our way home as the temperature was hovering around freezing in some places and so foggy that you couldn't see very far ahead.

Daddy had the house all warmed up for us with a nice fire going. It is always nice to come home to a warm house.

Rebekah kept most of her food down today, which is good. Let's hope and pray that continues. She didn't get a lot of food, but it feels like progress even if small. We will have to see how the night goes. This afternoon, we moved from all pedialyte to about half and half pedialyte and pediasure.

She is now having some diarrhea - thanks to the antibiotics and the dose of colace she got yesterday. Yesterday it was constipation, today diarrhea. I guess that is why we will need to have pediasure with fiber and pediasure without fiber. How many times will I need to change the bed tonight? Only time will tell. ** 11pm update - at least once - she coughed, got upset and threw up everywhere.

Rebekah is sitting on the couch with us watching TV. She was in bed for a short period of time and then asked to get up. Because she was having some trouble breathing (with the congestion) and Mommy was a softie, we let her get back up. She has been sitting nicely. Justice (the kitty) was sitting next to her and she wanted him down. Then, when he got down, she wanted him back next to her. We tried explaining to her that he is a cat and you can't always control them. I'm not sure she understood.

The left side of Rebekah's face is puffy. It has us a little concerned. Not sure if it is from the sinus infection or what. Please pray that it is better in the morning.

Tomorrow, Rebekah will see the opthamologist. Please pray that she cooperates and that it is a good appointment. Some answers would be good.
