Day 1 Back at Home

We arrived back at home with Katie last night around 7pm. She was tired even after sleeping in the car for most of the trip home. She watched a Dora video and relaxed a bit before going to bed. This latest stay at the hospital was one of the most emotionally traumatic that she has ever had. She was mad at the world for the entire time she was in the hospital. This morning she is starting to act more like her playful, pleasant self. However, she has made it clear that we are never supposed to bring her back to the hospital again.

Her mouth sore is a little better this morning but it still hurts her. She cried at breakfast when some food touched it. One of her medications for the sore contains some Liticain to lessen the pain and that helps tremendously. We have to apply that every hour for now to keep her suffering to a minimum.

Today is our last day of vacation. Tomorrow we go back to work and Josh goes back to school. Katie is scheduled to spend the day with Grandma and Grandpa again. Lucky for us, they are still able to watch her during the day until she can go back to day care again.
