Avery had an MRI on Friday to check out a "bright spot". Right before, I'd called a friend, Katie Weber to see if she knew of someone who could come over and give Avery a blessing. Katie happened to be on U of M campus anyway and came across 3 people who were able to come with her to help give a blessing.

It turned out that the "bright spot" found in her echo-cardiogram was nothing!!!! We are so grateful. They said she could be discharged home that day, or wait til Saturday....so we ran around like crazy getting our stuff together and came home late on Friday night. Yay!

My mom was able to get a deal of a plane ticket and came out Thursday night and helped me out getting Avery home and we're getting adjusted to home life again.

Avery had a temp on Friday night and part of Sat., and was a bit miserable, but now she is doing better and smiling again. The infection from her incision is basically gone. It isn't open much anymore. The nurse practioner who discharged Avery told me that she was surprised Avery had improved so quickly, thinking the wound-vac would have been on for another week at least. That's surely a blessing from heaven to have her infection heal so quickly from how it started out.

All of us are happy to home together again. Zachery freaked out on Friday night when I went outside, thinking I was leaving again. He told me today that he was so glad I was home. :) I am too.

Thank you to all of you who watched Zach, especially Eric's mom, Sue. I surely do not know what I would have done without the help, prayers and general support of others. Phone calls, notes, comments all meant a lot to us.

Avery will get to grow up a little before we'll need to take her back for a final fix on her heart. Now we get adjusted and get our house in order!
