Well today after being at the University of Missouri Children's Hospital in Columbia under the care of our awesome super-hero, Dr. Dan for 31 days, we said good-bye and was discharged. Our 2 residents came in, Dr. Anz who we have been seeing since we were there, he was super-nice and told me, "you got a great boy there", Dr. Gillizi just came on board, we haven't built a relationship. They got what prescriptions we would need to return home. Dr. Dan came by early on his way to his spine case, we discussed the all the discharge, what he needed from me back here. Then OMG, Jeremy had tons of visitors to see him off. Kelsey, PT who J loved to see come into the room, he loved playing with her and he loved her hair so she came by and got 1 more play time in. Then our PT, Caitlyn and Sarah, who worked so hard with him and he loved them. Social worker Lauren, who came by each day also to play, J loved playing with her and he also loved Lauren's hair. Amber, social work got all of our paperwork lined out, she commented that she gets all the business side of the visit, and I told her how much I appreciated all her hard work for me. Then, Corrine, Child life specialist who J loved to play with and see her coming, she had to come get a playtime in. We had Shelley as a nurse and J really liked her, she had taken care of him most the time we were there. Then as we got ready to leave the nurses were all telling him by. 2 of the janitors came by, Herschel who always took the time to play with J had to come see him. The experience with all the staff was amazing, they were so super-nice to Jeremy, helped me out and was so supportive. I was tearing up as we left, it was hard to say good-bye and leave.
We got on the road about 10:30 and arrived safety at home around 4:30pm. J tolerated the trip so well, was in a good mood, slept off and on but it wore him out, I laid him on the couch when we got home and he hasn't moved, he just passed out. I was able to go to the post office to pick up 31 days worth of mail they were holding for me. I had a little trouble getting the prescriptions filled, but finally got that task done. My dad met us at the house to pick up my mom, so we got everything unloaded, and let me tell you that stuff multiplied, my trunk was full. I have got everything in it's place, laundry started. J's dad came by to visit, and I was able to go run some errands. I have to run over to Tulsa tomorrow, it's our Tulsa Sibshops for age group 9-14, so I have to take roll, get the facilitator forms signed, drop off the bucket. I am then going to buy groceries, the fridge is empty then home to relax.
