We're home

About 6:45 tonight, we were finally let go from the hospital. Allison's marching orders consisted of plenty of rest, no work for at least this week, no lifting, lots of laying around and "we'll see you again on Friday."

When Friday morning rolls around, she will have another ultrasound and a few other tests/observations done which will hopefully tell more about what to expect in the coming weeks.

Allison and I are really glad to be home. Allison is happy for a t-shirt and shorts instead of a backless gown, a shower, good food courtesy of her mom, no needles stuck in her arm, going to the bathroom whenever she wants, and a hopefully great nights sleep with nothing to wake her up. I am happy she is home.

It's been an interesting few days, thats for sure. More trying emotionally for me at least than I would have ever thought. Some nervous moments, some small amounts of tears. Lots of love.

Thanks again for your prayers and encouraging calls, comments on our blog, and stopping by to see her. We are really grateful for each of you who offered support in any way.

Keep checking back as one of us will continue to post how she is doing, what is predicted by the doctors and how you could possibly help if needed. Thanks again everyone.

Allison,
I just heard today, I am so thankful that our Lord and Savior is watching over you! Psalm 55:22
Bed rest is most accentual for you and a little pampering doesn't hurt either! You are in my prayers. Be safe and be hope filled! *hugs*

Great to hear you are home. Still thinking often about you guys and asking God to keep LBJ safely tucked away in His 'specially designed place!
