We couldn't be more excited to take our little girl home. Yesterday she was in a bad mood and really tired for the first half of the day still from all the meds from surgery. She was still running a really low temp, which nobody can really explain except from the meds from the prior day. However, as soon as Taylor got here and finally decided that Addie was okay to be around everything made a turn. Addie was so excited to be back playing with her Tay Tay. She perked up and went to the play room. The doctor came into check her around 5PM and took the large gauze patch off her neck and put just a band aid over the wound so she would be more comfortable. We later had to change that to a bit bigger of a patch, since the bandaid just didn't hold up quite enough. She was in such a good mood. she wanted to take pictures with every statue we could find (see below). She has been such a trooper through it all, and we are so proud of how big she has been with all the bugging and poking from the nurses and doctors. Even though she HATES them all.
Last night she was so tired that she just looked over at her mom and told me herself that she was "SO TIRED". She ran a low temp all night again along with her body being very cold all night. They just think that this could be her still trying to get the meds out of her system, and as long as she is acting okay then she should be fine. The night nurse gave us a bunch of things that we can do on her to check her when she is cold like that to make sure she is doing okay for when we go home.
Today (January 29th), they came in at 5AM to take her blood labs. (Which by the way she calls out for her Tay Tay to save her every day during). The doctor came in at 6:30AM to tell us that she looked great, and that her numbers had gone down drastically. She is at a 3.1 infection level down from yesterday's 6. They thought there was no reason to keep us at the hospital any longer. We have one more doctor we are waiting to see, but the other doctor thought that we would be out of here early this morning.
After all is said and done, and we are home we have to be so careful that she doesn't get this re-infected. We will not be doing ANYTHING or taking her ANYWHERE for the next month until after her next surgery to get the cyst taken out. We don't want to make anyone feel bad, but we just want to be over careful that she doesn't get sick within this time period. So that being said. I think we are good to go home.
Thanks to everyone for all of your help with coming up to the hospital to support us and having us in your thoughts and prayers. We also want to make sure to thank everyone that helped us out with Taylor during this time. She has been a little worried about Addie and everything going on, but having sleepover's with cousin's and grandma has kept her mind off of it.

She is just so cute. I used to take this little smile for granted sometimes. I am so glad to see it back.
She thought Spiderman was the coolest!
