Default We are home!! A day early even!!

Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers, they worked!!
Once again our experience at Childrens hospital in Denver was beautiful! The staff is incredible!! They spent tons of time with us, nothing was rushed!! The anasthesiologist was the best ever. He listen to what we had to say about her waking up always being so henious and guess what???? For the first time ever she woke peacefully!!
The ASD turned out to be way smaller than previously though so they did not have to patch it!! They ballooned the lpa and we will follow both lpa and ASD closely. We didn't even have to stay the night!!
Celia did wonderfully! She is tired but otherwise in good shape!
I got to meet a wonderful mommy of THE cutest little trach baby! It was great!!

Dawn,
We stayed out at Country Inn and Suites. It's new and very nice!
I LOVE the hospital!! It is so bright and cheery!!
Ya know I didn't think it was too warm when we were there but my aunt who lives there came by and she made the comment that it was so warm and humid! All I could think is that she must have forgotten what it's like in our part of Kansas!! My skin was about to fall off from it being ssooooo dry out there!!lol It is pretty humid where we live and I have always thought humid heat is worse than dry heat.
