Were Home!

It's hard for us to believe, but Peyton is home, trach free no less. We do love our friends at the hospital, Nurse Betsy, who is the absolute best nurse we have ever had, Dr Allen and his great Team and all the others who care so much about Peyton, but like many other places it's a nice place to visit, you just never want to live there. It is great to be home and so much sooner than we were planning, without all of the post surgical issues we thought we were going to have to contend with. Peyton's doing so well, she's sleeping good and it is so strange hearing this little persons voice around the house, I keep thinking who's kid is that that I keep hearing, but then I smile and get tears in my eyes as it occurs to me, that's our baby! We have been waiting a year and a half for this, and it's been a long road, but to make sure Peyton is as healthy as possible, I'd say it's been well worth it. We arrived home last night a little after 7:00, and first thing, Peyton had a Popsicle, not like she was neglected a didn't have any at the hospital... but she just loves them. And It's a good thing I like them too since she doesn't eat very much and somebody has to help minimize the waste. Hey, it's a tough job, but somebody has to do it (and I'm not about to turn this job over to an illegal alien, this American is Proud to do this job). Along with all of the great care Peyton always receives at the hospital, we really appreciate all of the continuing love, prayers and support we have received from everyone who cares so much about our little Peyton.
