She's home

Abby is finally Home! She was able to come home Tuesday evening. One of the dialysis Nurse worked very hard. I so appreciate her hard work to get us home. The first place Abby wanted to go was to Soupersalad. Then we went home to get settled in. Yesterday Abby spent her first day home getting caught up on some school work.
Before we left the Hospital, the Docs got all her allergic reaction stuff settled, and she was out of ICU for a few days before going home. Abby has been in the hospital for a long time. the first visit was 28 days, then she was home 12 days then she went back for 25 days. That really became a lot for Abby. The last few days in the hospital she was some what down, but she is slowly becoming her self again now that she is home. She is ready to go watch Alice and The Wonderland and to go to church this weekend.
Now that she is home, we are able to do dialysis here at our house. Yesterday was the first time I gave Abby a shot so not fun, poor thing was nervous. She wants to give Me or Memo a shot of water first to make it even.
Abby has matured a lot these last few months. She has taken on this illness so well. She just goes with flow and takes it as it comes. For example yesterday we went grocery shopping and was looking at labels to see the sodium contents. She was like look Mom I can have this. She is just a different kid from before, more stronger and mature. She is awesome!
Before Abby left the hospital she made some home made Plato, she did make some for her brother Elisha, so last night when we were unpacking her stuff she was giving Elisha his Plato and tossed it to him, hitting him in the eye! what a bitter sweet gift huh? We also have baby monitor's in her room so we can hear her and the dialysis machine. Since Abby is hooked to her dialysis machine in the mornings and stuck in her room, she uses the monitor's to mess with Elisha. She make scary voices on it and is like Elisha I'm going to get you, or she uses it to argue with him. Its so funny. Elisha takes it with everywhere in the mornings. He still hasn't got the concept that he can hear her but she can't hear him. The monitor is very entertaining in the mornings!
Keep praying for Abby's progress, we know we are on track to a brighter tomorrow!
The will God will never take you, where the grace of God cannot protect you!
