Today was a much awaited day. After 17 days in the hospital, Kate came home. She was released from the hospital around 1:00 today. We are so excited to have her home. It is so nice not having her on a continuous feed. We can actually walk around the house with her and not be confined to one area of the house. She is still on oxygen and will be on 1/4 of a liter until she has her follow-up appointment on February 14th. She will have a EKG and a chest x-ray that day and will see her cardiologist. Kate is still quite weak, but with time and a little work she will be back to herself in no time. She is still eating really well. It's amazing to see the changes from before her surgery. Kate would only eat about 1 oz. within 1/2 hour. She is now taking 3 oz. in less than 1/2 hour. We are so proud of her. Even though the last couple of weeks have been very tough and a test of our patience, it has been worth it and we are grateful so for this little miracle.
