Discharged Today

Sierra was released from the hospital today.  She made the record.  The soonest they have ever had anyone out after transplant is 10 days, she did it in 8. She looks and acts great other than a little soreness on her chest (understandably so).

So now what?  One might ask.  We are released to go to the RMH where we will stay for 3 months.  She will have weekly biopsies for a month and then they will go every other week, then monthly.  This will go along with weekly clinic visits and echos.  She had 2 more 13 hour IVIG infusions, one next week and the other 2 weeks following.  They will retest her antibodies and if she is negative she will not have to have the IVIG again.  She is so strong that she will not be needing any physical therapy.  Compared to the schedule Lindsey had, Sierra's is a breeze.  Lindsey had physical therapy and psych that added a lot of extra appointments.  With this schedule, we should be back home in time to start school, which will be wonderful!!

I added a few pictures from the last couple days.  We were able to see Shaambak and Ben who look absolutely amazing.  As well as their awesome parents.  So good to see our dear friends. The hospital showed the new Pixar movie, "Inside Out."  Unfortunately, Sierra did not see any of it, because she was getting educated so she could be discharged.  We will have to hit a matinee.

We are so grateful for how this has turned out. Also,  for another family that has found the ability to give through a  tragic situation.  We feel so truly blessed right now, our hearts are full. Thank you all for your prayers and thoughts.
