Free at Last!!

WE ARE DISMISSED!! WE MADE IT!! WHOOO-HOO!! YIP-EEE!!!

Right now my little family is relaxing in a hotel room. Jake is watching cartoons and is back to his old tricks. I love it.
He was so over the hospital this morning. He didn't sleep last night, would cry at the sight of the blood pressure cuff today and was all around grumpy. (so no good pictures from our departure but here he is anyway)




We got back to the hotel room and he was all fun and smiles.. that little monkey!

I'm full of so many emotions right now that it's crazy. We're estatic, exhausted, relieved, thankful and somewhat sad to leave behind our new Michigan family of nurses, doctors and roommates.
For the past couple of days we shared a room with another 2 year old boy who has been in the hospital for over a month and has weeks to go. I feel bad to be leaving him and his mom. We hit it off and I hope to keep in touch.
Our plans right now are to chill here all day tomorrow and then get ourselves home Wednesday. We just need time to take it down a notch, get some sleep and I really need some retail therapy.
Tennessee, we'll be home soon!!

We are so happy for all of you and most of all for Jacob's heart surgery, which was a success and the beginning of a healthier life for him. Thank you God.

Will look to see some updates in the future about how he develops. Those terrible twos are just around the corner for you Mom......so get prepared.

Thank you again for including us on the journey.

We all send our love and continued prayers.

Susan and family.
