Back Home!
Emma was discharged from CHEO this afternoon. As you might imagine, we're relieved and so happy she's back home where she belongs. We're incredibly lucky to have such an awesome children's hospital here in our city, but if Emma is admitted to an inpatient ward there again anytime in the next 16 years, it will be too soon!
Emma will have a follow-up appointment with the Respirology Clinic to monitor her breathing problems and we'll have to be even more careful about exposing her to germs/sick people, but she seems to be making a good recovery. She's now on 7 different medications (some of which will be discontinued in a week or so). Combined with the 2 meds. that Michaela is also taking for her ear/sinus infection, we have a veritable pharmacy in our home now. I think keeping track of all of them may require a spreadsheet! :)

YAY, glad to hear Emma is home, and feeling better. I wish you no more trips to the hospital in the near future.

YEAH! Way to go Emma! Summer will be here soon and all those nasty germs will be at a minumum.

Doesn't it make you appreciate the little thigs about being home? When my son was little he had to be hospitalised for pneumonia. I remember being so greatful when the tubes and monitors were gone and he could just be a regular precocious baby.
I'm sure you also saw many people at the hospital that would give anything for their kids to be as healthy as Emma. It really makes you count your blessings.
Good luck juggling all those meds.
glad to hear this latest hospital stay is over and wishking the girls a very speedy recovery
