Day #116

Jennifer goes home tomorrow!! She is so excited that when they were trying to arrange her discharge tomorrow & the nurse asked her what time she wanted to go home tomorrow, Jennifer responded "Midnight"! At midnight tonight, it will be tomorrow! I don't think she'll get her wish to leave at midnight!

We still don't have the results from Kacyn's blood test for the organic acid disorder. David told me today when I asked about it that they also did a urine test. They said it would take less than a week to get the results of the urine test. They said this disorder would show up in the urine test also. If it did, they wouldn't wait on the blood test, they'd call & begin the meds needed to fight the disorder. They have not received a call about the urine test & it's been 2 weeks so we are guessing this means the urine test was ok!

The ramp on their front porch has been built & is ready & waiting for Jennifer!

Jennifer got a new physical therapist today. Her other one moved to Ireland. Before this therapist would sign off on Jennifer going home, David had to show the therapist he could transfer/move Jennifer by himself. He passed the test! He'd actually gotten training last week on how to do this.

The day Jennifer goes home is a day we have all looked forward to & prayed for for a long time now. That day is finally here! She may not be able to walk out of the hospital on her own like we would like, but she is finally well enough to go home! As we have all along, we will take & be thankful for every blessing & miracle God sends our way, even the tiniest ones. Jennifer going home is a BIG, GIANT miracle! God is good!

How awesome!! She's made so much progress. Im so excited for her! I can't wait until I can go visit her and she's only a few minutes away. I'm sure she'll have many more visitors now and hopefully that will really lift her spirits.
