Home Again

Princess finally made it home today!
I came home Sunday afternoon with my grandmother, because the other kids and Kris were not feeling well and Dad needed help caring for them. Princess had to stay until today.
Okay, so here is the run down:
Thursday, the 22nd, is when she had her episode. She was rushed to the local emergency room and then med-flighted to the city Children's hospital. My mom, my grandmother, and myself all drove to the city to be with her. Later that evening, they brought her out of sedation, removed the tube from her mouth, and put her on another source of oxygen.
Friday she was taken off oxygen, moved out of ICU, and into a normal hospital room.
Saturday they did a test on her heart (EKG) and found that the left of it was enlarged and beating irregularly (prolonged QT). This concerned them, so they put her on a special heart monitor.
Sunday was the same, except that they did a test on her brain (EEG), and she was feeling quite restless and goofy.  She wanted to go home, and she was very upset when my grandmother and I had to go home without her.
Monday, they did a sonogram on her heart (ECHO) and another EKG, and they came back COMPLETELY NORMAL.
Tuesday they took the tubes out of her leg and hand, and sent her home! She is super happy along with the rest of the family!

Friday afternoon after being moved out of ICU
She wanted me to crawl into bed with her, so I obliged.
Saturday, she was feeling better.
Sunday, she was just plain goofy...
