Zero sum

Yay for being home from the hospital! We took one tube out and put another one in, so we're at a zero sum for tubes this week. Mirabel's g-tube placement was smooth sailing (so far, let's hope I'm not jinxing it now). It wasn't easy to put her through another surgery, but we're all much happier without that NG tube taped to her face and irritating her throat. After getting back up to normal feeds last night, we were ready to go this morning. In fact,  we almost staged a coup on the surgical floor. Some of the medical team thought that we'd have to wait to see Cardiology before leaving, but we bundled up and were all prepared to sneak out rather than spend the day twiddling our thumbs. Fortunately, our nurse got ahold of Dr. Noel and we were given the thumbs up to leave. So now the princess is at home, sitting on the couch and playing with her toys.  So glad to be out of there! Children's is great, but I sincerely hope we're not admitted again for a good long time.
