GREAT NEWS!

I'm excited to announce that yesterday Liam was released from Childrens Hospital and is now home. Home where he belong. We left with the truck full of luggage, medicine and toys. When we went in Liam was on 4 different perscription's. We tweaked some, got rid of some and added new ones. Now he has 8 meds to take daily. I am a nurse, atleast to my son. I have learned so much more about Liam on this last hospital stay than on any others. Probably because we were at Childrens. They looked at the whole picture, not just part of the picture. Once they realized that we wanted to be involved in every step of the way they kept us informed. We all made decisions together and choose the best options for Liam. This last stay diagnosed Liam with reflux and chronic lung disease. He had a Gtube placed and a Nessen Fundoplication for his reflux. If you hadn't noticed the funny little tadbit there, I'll point it out. Liam had a Nessen........you know Liam Nessen LMAO. How funny is that?! Anyway. We are all very happy to be home. We got to sleep in out own comfy beds. Now we have to get a new routine going. Liam's med sched means meds every 3 hours as well as feedings. Liam is currently not taking anything by mouth. It's something that we're working on and will also need therapy for. Lanie is happy to see all her toys and her bed. The cats missed us like crazy and have been following us around and curling up next to us. It's awesome to be home! We have alot of work ahead of us, dusting, vacuming, mopping. Its amazing how dirty a house can get when no one is even in it. Stupid water cooler! Ill keep posting as often as I can but for now please visit Liam's website and pass it one. We have so many appointments ahead of us its not even funny. All within a months time.
