Bambi, our wonderful nurse practitioner, walked in his room at 1:00 and said discharge orders were in and we could leave within the hour. She wanted to make sure we were out before the kids started getting home from school. It was all I could do to not hug her and give her a big kiss on her cheek! Our prayers were answered. We were able to make it to Megans game (all of us) and then lay low the rest of the night. Gage continually wears his mask. He is by no means "over" his influenza. He has a horrible cough that gets worse at night. It just makes my ribs ache listening to him cough. He is able to drink (with A LOT of encouragement) and holds it down. He tolerated his 500 mL of feeds at night without throwing it up, while in the hospital. However, this morning was not the same story. He ended up vomiting quite a lot of his feeds along with his feeding tube. So, we are not there yet, but he does act great and normal during the day with "a little" cough. I am not going to post how the other kids are doing, because I don't want to jinx myself again. I have gotten a runny nose and cough and get to sport a mask as well. By no means as bad as Gage. I am so glad we got the flu shot. The doctors were expecting it to be a lot worse. They said probably because of the flu shot it wasn't as bad. Sierra and Lindsey have both been started on Tamiflu for precautionary measures.
Jason returns late tomorrow, and we are all very excited for his return. All should be back to normal by the time he gets here. Megan won her game and did very well. She scored 19 of the 59 points. Thank you for all your prayers and help through this week!
Gage "outside" of the hospital waiting for the shuttle. I didn't drive over because I wasn't expecting to go home.
Hunter and Gage got some Stanford hats from Bingo the other night at the playroom. Hunter feels pretty grown up with his hat on. He is quite the "cool cat."

Hunter, Lindsey and Gage playing basketball at half time of Megan's game. You can see the score was tied 25 - 25. Good game to watch.

Kudos to that nurse! - for being tuned into the whole situation, asking questions, using common sense, and moving the situation along. So glad you avoided logistical difficulties and got to see the game as a family. I am humbled by your situation, awed by your handling of it and praying for good health for all of you.
