The difference between a day in the hospital and a day out is beyond words really. It is a huge relief for both Christa and me, and Carly is clearly much more at ease and rested when she isn't being poked and prodded every hour or two. We got to celebrate Christa's birthday with her family and my mom at our house tonight which was yet another thing to be thankful for.Carly had her first outpatient blood lab this morning, something that she will need to do every day for at least this week and at some interval for weeks to come. There is something to be said for someone who spends their entire day taking blood from little kids, because this nurse did an incredible job. She got the amount needed in a matter of minutes with very little crying on Carly's part (very different from the last 20+ lab draws that Carly has had to endure.) Christa said that this was another great birthday present. While Christa opened her other presents tonight, Carly spent much of the time entranced by a glowing egg. Too cute.
Love, Brad
