Settling In At Home

So happy to be out of the hospital and out of the car

Mason is sharing her Nemo with me so I feel better

We made it home safe and sound - the normally two-hour trip took around four.  But, we are happy we left when we did.  Word is that Texas Children's Hospital is now on complete lock down, all non-emergency surgeries are cancelled, and they are only allowing one parent to stay with the kids that are still there.  We very well could be stuck there, and our family be separated right now.  I am so thankful Blake is already a week out from his surgery, and we are all home together.

Blake had a rough night (and subsequently Bryan and I did too) last night, and was running a low fever this morning.  We didn't want to take any chances since he is still so fragile, and since we were approaching the weekend.  We went to see the pediatrician and after running a CBC, he said Blake's white blood count was low, probably trying to fight a virus.  He prescribed some antibiotics so that his body won't be trying to fight a virus while trying to heal at the same time. 

All of our family in Houston, and all of the fragile kiddos trapped inside TCH are in our prayers tonight.
