Done... ish

Well, we are finally going home, we think. Heather got some sleep last night, and woke up feeling better this AM. She was able to get up, take a shower and even blow-dry her hair. 

Not long after she was done showering, the "team" came by and said they were impressed by how much better she looked today. Time to go home!!! 

Kind of... That was at about 9:00 this AM. It's 2:00 now and the bags are packed, heather is dressed, and we are still sitting in the room. The old hurry up and wait. Her heart rate has continued ticking along at about 120 beats per minute. Not terribly fast, but faster than it should be. So the cardiologist that was contacted thought he should come by for a consult. 

Not a bad idea, we thought when we assumed that he would be by in the next hour or so. It's now been 5 hours. 

Heather wouldn't be doing much different at home than she is doing here - laying down, recovering - but now that she has the energy to make the trip and has been told she could go, she would much rather be doing a whole lot of nothing there. 

Keeping our fingers crossed that the cardiologist is about to walk through the door...
