She's Home Again

Hi Everyone,

Another interesting Update... I feel like the Spanish version of Lucy Ricardo sometimes. So as you know my little Amber is home. She is doing well and resting... Kurt and I on the other hand not so much rest but doing well. The girls just love on their sister every day and every chance they get.

So She was discharged from Orange CHOC on Saturday, April 18th at 5pm. Each day she cries a little less because she's getting use to being home. We've done baths and changed many diapers. I've even gone out to doctor appointments as a matter of fact it went so well at her Pediatrician's appointment I decided to go twice to her cardiology appointment. Actually I had the wrong time went at 10am but the appointment was at 1pm and doctor comes in at 1pm so they couldn't do anything but take her weight, fill out paper work and laugh about my adventure. She has also gotten her first official haircut or shave to fix what the nurses at CHLA have done (leaving patches of hair here and there trying to find an IV site.)

I have a list of all that contributed to the carseat, house cleaning and extra cash that has so far bought a musical swing that we did not have. I will personally send out thank you cards please don't say no, it's the only way I can actually show you how thankful I am by taking the time I can spare to thank you. Now if you don't get a thank you card by this time next year let me know and I will make sure you get one :-)

Please continue to pray that Amber continues to thrive at home, that the girls continue to be patient and loving towards their baby sister, that Kurt and I can keep our sanity, that my mom let's go of her insecurities and fears of Amber's many cares and that my in-laws can make it here during the summer to entertain the girls while we deal with Amber's next phase (heart surgery).

Thank you to Tracy G., Amy V., Kelly P., Michelle H., Melanie P., Robbie B., Maria P., and Molly R. for sending me (collectively) daily text messages of positive energy and love :-) Love you ladies, you are great.

And of course thank you for praying and keeping us in positive light.... God is listening and I am so grateful for the out comes. (Attached you will find some pictures.)

Love,
Kurt and Jessie

PS Remember to keep Mikey, Graciela, Joy, and Molly in your prayers too :-) Good night
