So after I went back and recounted how many days AJ was in NICU it was 13 and AJ's birthday is on the 13th and now on day 13 Cooper is home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We met with Infectious Disease and after another sonogram everyone decided that the remainder of Cooper's pnemonia could be treated with oral antibiotics and close observation from his pediatrician. We have a very long road ahead of us still with multiple doctors appointments, blood work, x-rays, etc. but I am so happy we will be able to do that while coming back to our home.
A recap of the day: All morning Cooper was in a great mood, almost like he knew he was going home. We had our friend Tom come to visit us while his daughter was having some tests done. Tony and AJ came to pick us up around 2:30 and we were finally able to leave at 3:45. As Tony and AJ took the stuff down to the car Cooper and I waited together for our discharge instructions, we rode down the elevator together and many of the people we had met along the way and some strangers said their goodbyes to us and wished us luck with hopes to never come back :) As Tony drove away I started to cry and of course Tony and AJ had no idea why but I was so relieved to be leaving I couldn't hold it back any longer.
When we got home I was greeted by so many great presents for my family, once again we are truly blessed to have a wonderful group of friends and family who have been so supportive of these past 13 days. I can not express my Thanks enough to everyone who has prayed for this day to come.
