GENEVIEVE IS HOME!

Just as a picture was worth all the words we could utter as Genevieve was first in ICU, this picture says it all tonight. She is home!

This picture was taken shortly after Genevieve had a long needed nap and then emptied the contents of her stomach, residual anesthesia, narcotics, and some motrin all over her Aunt Meredith. Meredith stood there and encouraged her to get it all out. We just cleaned both of them up and kept on going. No doubt a special bonding moment with her Godmother.



Genevieve is on numerous round the clock meds for the next 3 weeks and beyond. The staff at Vanderbilt made a diagram for the frig., they thought of everything! Genevieve is not to leave the house, save for stroller and mother nature until June 12 when she sees her surgeon again. Universal precautions are a priority, Genevieve will recover in solitude until released by her cardiologist, again on the 12th.

We were not the only ones glad to have Genevieve back home.

I am reluctant to post a picture of Genevieve's abdomen...she has a scar from tip to tip across her chest and sutures from all of the tubes. She is incredibly bruised and there are no bandages...she has brusies from the 5 IVs. She is wearing the last 8 days and they are the reminder of the victory. We have received praise and shout outs from coast to coast tonight from all of our dear friends and family. We share our joy with all who have made Genevieve a daily topic with God. She is indeed a tribute to God's loving-kindness.

I will continue to update home recovery.
