Quinn is Finally home!

No more pokes every two hours for vitals, no more hospital noises, no
more tests, no more getting woken up every morning at seven and greeted
with a doctor, no more needles, IV’s and sleepless nights. We are home!

We
were discharged yesterday. But things have been so hectic! First,
before I even got home, I had to meet up somewhere with a medical
deliverer to get Quinn’s IV pole, her food bags and tubes and her pump.
Then when I got home, before i could even unpack, I had to clean the
house because it was an absolute wreck! Then I had to call pharmacies
and dr.’s for meds and follow up appointments. Then the nurse came over
at 7:20pm to show me how to use all this medical equipment and clean
her g-tube site. Then Q started getting fussy and it was time for bed
and so the nurse hooked her up to her feeds and left. By that time it
was already almost 9! I was soooo pooped!

The nurse will be
coming daily for the next few days and then three times a week after
that. Ugh… what a night. I still haven’t had the opportunity to rest.
This morning I got up, unpacked our hospital stuff, which was a lot.
Designated a cupboard for tubes, syringes, gauze and all that other fun
stuff, packed a medical bag for Quinn’s caregiver, thank goodness it’s
my sister. And washed dishes and the nurse will be over soon. I have to
put clothes away still and vaccum and I have to be at work in a few
hours. Whew! When will rest come. Soon I would imagine.

Quinn
is doing great. She is back to her normal self, and happy to be home,
I’m sure. Her belly is a little tender and bloated. The nurse said she
would like to keep a close eye on that. I like our nurse. She is really
sweet and she fully looked over her records, she knew everything about
her when she arrived. I was impressed!

Anyways, I hope everyone is well. Thank you for
all your prayers and support. It means a lot. It’s amazing that all of
you are here for each other, especially during times like these, it
makes all the difference in the world. Thank you!
