Change of Plans

After meeting with several people yesterday to discuss various items related to discharge, it became plausible that William would be ready to come home by Saturday, not Tuesday. This morning, the doctor confirmed it. A bit incredulous that it was possible, I replied that I'd be more comfortable with the established plan of Tuesday. He gave me a puzzled, "Okay" and left. I panicked. What was I thinking? I calmed down, cleared my head, and rearrange plans to get home sooner to clean the house and keep us from spending any additional days in the hospital for no reason. Duh!!! Ryan will zip back down to San Francisco on Thursday to be present for last minute discharge instructions. I'll hurry home Thursday night to finalize the packing up of the 4 boys and start the cleaning. Discharge will be Saturday morning! My head is spinning with the fast forward pace of events!

On Friday, Wells, Nevada (huh, where?) will be the exchange point where Ryan's parents will hand off the 4 boys to my parents so the boys can spend "Presidents'/ski week" in Utah while Ryan, William, and I work out the kinks and settle into the new routines. Hopefully, a few sleep filled nights will also occur! Ryan and I have amazing families! Really amazing families.

  2. Such happy news!! A couple of days of chaos is better than a couple of days in the hospital, especially since you can make up for it with a slow pace at home! Love and hugs to all of you!!
