day 4: homeward bound

We are going home!!!

Mimi and Papa got here yesterday and were here bright an early this morning to be with us. Thankful that thy were able to come during this crazy time.

At 6am this morning, the nurses came in to draw more blood.  at about 730, one of the resident interns came in to report that ALL of KG's levels had dropped!  yah!  bilirubin, enzymes, iron, etc!  praise the lord!

At 10am the medical team (med students, residents, doctors) all had rounds and updated us on her. And gave us the good news we get to go home!!

We will have follow up labs in Lincoln and come back to Children's for an appointment with the GI team after all I the labs are back. They ran a series of tests and it'll take a while for the results.

Ultimately, they think this virus probably peaked before we came to the hospital and she was actually getting better by the time we arrived. Scary to think how much higher all of the levels could have been last week and we had no clue anything was even wrong. She was yellow but showed no other symptoms. Thank you Jesus for protecting her!

So while we continue to wait...we get to wait at home. Praise be the Lord!
