Home Sweet Home!!!

Well, the cardiologist did not walk through the door, but the next best thing happened shortly after the last post. The nurse practitioner came in and said that he was able to talk to the cardiologist, who sent his apologies for keeping us waiting, and they had decided that we could go!!!! Not quite how we planned on spending 5 hours, but it wouldn't have been much different at home, except we would have been at home.

So, we left the hospital at about 3:30. Just in time for a ridiculous amount of non-work day traffic. It took us about two an a half hours to get from the UW to our house. But we made it.

Heather was desperate to take a bath and try to get all of her flaky skin off. Straight upstairs, to the bath and then to bed. The day had taken it's toll on her. She napped for a bit then came downstairs and was able to eat a little tortilla soup.

Not long after that, she was wiped out again. It was pretty tough for her to get into our high bed after her bath, so we decided that the best place for her to sleep was the couch downstairs. She was fast asleep by abut 9:00 last night and did not move until about 9:00 this morning!!! Much needed uninterrupted sleep.

When she woke up, she looked and felt great!! It still doesn't take much to wear her out. She went upstairs after some coffee and took a shower, then straight to bed. Post nap, she was able to come downstairs eat some food and go through some mail.

She is definitely on the road to recovery. Her skin is looking better and she is moving around much better. She still has a long way to go, but is pointed in the right direction...
