Tomorrow Night
This time tomorrow on the surface you may find my house looks the same as it does tonight. Look closer and you would be able to see the fundamental differences.
Eilidh will be sleeping soundly in her cot and i will be sitting here on the computer, DH will more than likely be in the living room watching tv and more importantly Rebecca will be curled up on the bed behind me sound asleep.
Finally after almost 4 weeks of this nightmare we are at the end, one last night just to check no problem from the Clonidine and to start the reduction of the Lemazepam (i don’t think this spelling is correct with this one but it sounds right ). Unless something major happens over night she will be out tomorrow morning.
Part of me cannot believe it, i guess till she is home then i will keep feeling that way. Our family has been split in two for much to long and its finally coming back together.
As for medically she is doing great, the surgeon was happy with how her throat looks - its still a little swollen but that is to be expected but there is more room there than there was before (as in before her first surgery in June) . She will be back in 2 weeks for another look round , possibly not even overnight if they only take a look down and don’t do anything else. He just wants to keep a closer eye on it this time.
Today she was 100% Rebecca and it was wonderful , it was a long boring day just the two of us going crazy but at least its the end.
I know i have said it before but i need to say it again, i really love you guys . The comments and love i have gotten through-out this time has been amazing, you really all made a horrible situation that little bit easier.

I’m so very glad your little one will be returning home - congrats to you. I’m sending love & magic your way - all I can possibly muster. You’ve persevered through a lot, honey, and you deserve a little rest. Hugs and love from Minnesota!

YEAH!!!!!! I am SO happy for your family, and I (across the ocean) am so excited your girls will be together again!!!!!!! The thought off them apart has been breaking my heart. I’m glad she is back to herself and you will hopefully get a chance to REST before the little guy comes.

I feel like I have missed so much during such an important time! I have the basic gist of what has been going on, but with the new baby, I haven’t been able to keep as up-to-date as I wish I could. I have thought of you guys often. It sounds like quite the emotional rollercoaster ride. I am so glad it looks like she’ll be home soon. I hope that things calm down and life goes back to normal quickly. Lots of hugs and love to you…

Is she home now? I sure hope so! Never before has the mundane, day to day life seemed to beautiful, huh?
