Not sure how it happened a day early, but we are home. Riley had a chest x-ray this morning, and all looked good. So the only thing we were waiting for was to have another chest x-ray on Friday morning... so why did we need to spend a perfectly good day at the hospital waiting? Exactly. So, several phone calls, various consultations, an echocardiogram and one EKG later, we were discharged. We thought for sure it would take 24 hours to get our answer about leaving early--ha!
We are scheduled to have an appointment with Riley's pediatrician in Redwood City on Friday morning, along with our x-ray, also in Redwood City.
Also, when we got home and Riley was moving as fast as he could from one toy to the next, he said to me: "You go into the kicthen and cook something." And so I did. He ate two big bowls of very low-fat Annie's macaroni and cheese. It was probably more calories in one meal than he has had in an entire day in weeks. Hooray! More good news to come.

Well what a wonderful surprise! Words cannot express how happy we are for all of you!! The thought of Riley in his own home, playing with his own toys, eating in his own kitchen and sleeping in his own bed, truly warms our hearts. And a day early at that! After all the delays you've been through, you guys really deserved something ahead of schedule for a change!
Enjoy your first night together at home.
Home SWEET home! xoxo
