my heart rejoices in your salvation.
I will sing the LORD’s praise,
for he has been good to me."

Tyson and I are going HOME TODAY! The JP is still in place, and draining quite a lot. So there's no chance of the JP being pulled today or tomorrow, or even Sunday. So we might as well quit hanging around here and get home to enjoy the holiday season. Brian is working today and then coming by to pick us up. Then we'll be back at Sick Kids on Thursday for a clinic appointment, they will change the dressings around the JP. If the draining has stopped by then, they will pull the JP. If not, we will come back again the next week for dressing changes, etc. and continue on until the draining stops.
Usually they will only allow a patient to go home with a JP if they are within 90 minutes from the hospital. We are slightly outside that limit because of traffic. But the cardiologist who said "This boy needs to go home." is waving his hands at us, telling us to get outta here! LOL
I have to make this quick, since discharge day is always insanely busy. Meeting with pharmacist, thrombosis, NP for JP drainage instructions, booking new appts, and I have to go down to RMH yet to turn in my key.
So I am signing off now. Will write more at another time, if I get the chance yet tonight.
Please keep praying that the draining will stop soon :)

WE'RE HOME!
The BEST BEST BEST feeling in the world was watching my son snuggle down under the covers of his nice, warm bed, grinning from ear to ear beneath his soother. The tears were quite literally pouring outta my eyes watching him enjoy his own warm bed, and it was then that it finally truly sank in that my son has survived his third open-heart surgery!
THANK-YOU, LORD!

YAY YAY YAY YAY!!! Welcome home (providing you read this tonight from the safety of your home)!!! Have a great weekend and we'll look forward to seeing you soon! Will continue to pray that all goes well so that you won't have to take any sudden trips back. T
Hi Mel,
Yeah! So glad you are on your way home. I have been praying daily for Tyson, Brian, the other kids and you. I know how frustrating this process is....when our boys are doing well, but not quite recovered and you are ever so tired of the hospital and the rollercoaster ride of not knowing what will come next. I'll admit that reading your posts have made me both anxious to get the Fontan over and done with, and also wishing we didn't have to do it at all :) Tyson has done remarkably well though and for that we thank God! Keep up the posts so that we can know specific prayer requests.
