We are home! I would like to say we got out early for good behavior but there are too many other kids still up there that would love to be home tonight! I am sure we will never, this side of heaven, understand all the whys we have but I do know that it has so much more to do with God's plan in this life than our own. As we were driving home D and I were talking about the original surgery plan. Had we done that- tonight would have been our first night out of ICU and Grace would have just woken up yesterday from before the surgery- and here we are at home! We are just in awe and so thankful. We have had such an amazing experience and been the recipients of so much love and generosity we are speechless or in this case typeless!
On our way home today Grace says, "Wait! We forgot to give this (pointing to trach) back to the doctors". D replies with "Uhhhhhhhh, mommy?". Being that there was just the 3 of us in the truck it was obvious he had just passed it off to me. So I told her we could just give it to them when we see them in a few months. And that was it. No protest, no negotiating, just an okay! I guess she got her concept of time from me because I know we had already covered that on numerous occasions!
Tonight Grace threw herself a welcome home party and the Weavers played along by dropping off cake! There was no denying her a party after Judd and Caroline saw the cake! The Roth's celebrated just being at home with each other but wow are the grown ups exhausted! This next week will be hectic getting therapy, nursing care and home bound school stuff arranged but we are excited to be progressing so well!
It is FABULOUS to be home and it is so true, there is no place like home!

Police Who?
Police stop telling these awful knock, knock jokes!
OK! I’ll save you from anymore of these goofy jokes.
And I eagerly look forward to reading more of the "Astonishing Adventures of Our Amazing Grace", Chapter 2-Home at Last.

YEAH!!!!! So glad to hear the good news.
I would love to think Mommy and Daddy are still in bed catching up on some sleep, but I doubt that with excited little ones at home. Welcome home Gracie!!!
We are going to continue to pray for smooth transitions and easy living.
