Discharged!

After 5 days in the hospital, Isaiah was discharged last night.  We're so glad to be home, especially Dave who spent every night with Isaiah.

Thank you to everyone who sent us food and treats.  Loretta and Tony, that rigatoni came in very handy and was so delicious.  Jess and Nick, thanks for the home-made soup and goodies for Isaiah.  You guys were so sweet to spend all that time going back and forth to the hospital.  Barb and John, thanks for sending along food for David in the hospital.  I know Dave really appreciated that.  Nancy, thanks for giving Dave a break at the hospital.  Mom, thanks for buying me groceries.  Amanda and Peter, thanks for sending us food when we got home with Victoria!

Thank you also to all those who offered to help.  We feel so blessed to have such wonderful family and friends who always support us during these times.  This was such tricky timing for Isaiah to be in the hospital because we just got home and were trying to adjust to a family of five, not to mention that we were all sick and  it was Christmas.

Glad it's all over....or so I hope.  We are supposed to stay isolated at home and have to go for blood work on Friday as Isaiah is 8 points away from needing a blood transfusion.  We went for a walk today, despite everything.  I found it so humorous how someone almost needing a blood transfusion could climb all the way to the top (see picture below).  I guess that was my job to stop him but he was having so much fun.  Don't worry, we have spent the whole day inside building Lego and resting so that his body can recover.
