Hi everyone...we're finally home!! Yippeee!!!! ;D
Andrew was finally able to come off the ventilator on Monday. I was so excited to pick him up. I wasn't ready for the fact that he had not been able to move for 2 weeks and his muscles were very weak. He couldn't even hold his head up but has come so far in just 5 days.
We had to make a lot of "deals" to get them to let Andrew come home. We have a nurse coming once a day to assisit with his withdrawals from all the meds he has been on for so long. So far he is doing very good.
He is still very weak but is doing better everyday. Today he started crawling again which is a good sign. He can crawl for a little while and then just lies down...he gets tired very easily. We are just taking it one day at a time. We think he is doing so incredibly well in such a short period of time. We are just so thankful.
I can't even begin to tell all of you how greatful we are to all of you for your thoughts and prayers. It means so much to all of us. I will post back when I have a bit more time, and I will try to play "catch up" with all the posts...lol! Thanks again!!!!
