Home Sweet Home - Finally

Well we made it home last Sunday. We have been home for a little over a week. But not before some Compton mayhem. Sunday the 12th was Hannahs birthday, we were released that day. She was so happy! We drove about an hour and stopped for a bathroom break. Hannah walked in and walked back to the truck and passed out in the parking lot of a Mcdonalds. We had no idea where we were. I called Duke, they said to call an ambulance. We did. The closest hosptial happened to be Winston Salem Baptist Hospital. I thank God for having his hand in EVERYTHING! It could have just as easily happened another hour or so down the road near a tiny unknown hospital. About 4 hours later we were cleared to leave. She had just fainted from the heat and anemia. Which we knew about. She is on iron for 2 months. This I told her was her present - tour de hospitals
As the rest of my life goes we just got home and Hunter started an episode. I looked up to heaven and just said "Really?" - okay God. As long as you are with me, just please let me sleep some. The episode lasted through yesterday. Hunter has actually slept through the night a couple of times this week. Hannah has done well and had her stitches taken out today. UGHHHH! She has had so much lately the anxiety was overwhelming. She cried and screamed in the office, before and during, which made them very hard to take out. There were two. Everytime the doctor had it she would wail and he would lose the stitch. ughh.
So everything has some sort of benefit!
1. Hannahs heart was completely fixed- for good. The doctor was able to repair it using only her tissue, no rings, valves- nothing- and it was worse and more deformed than they thought. God really showed off big! We were expecting a ring, which would have to be replaced and eventually a valve replacement, but God is the Great Physican and heals!!! No more surgeries!!!
2. The food- Many different people from church and my small group have brought food the last 2 weeks. WOW, can our church cook! It started off with some amazing pork tenderloin, melt in your mouth mac and cheese and hasn't stopped. We have just finished a delicious chocolate cake with whipped cream that is 2 die 4. Thanks to all of you that brought the yummy food. I haven't had to cook yet and don't have to the rest of the week!!!!! YAY!

Well I am tired and going to put the kids in bed. Another dr. appointment tomorrow. Hunter this time- ingrown toe nails removed (both feet). Captivating Huh?
