5-day hospital stay?!

I arrived at the hospital this morning only to learn that....WE ARE GOING HOME! Apparently Elijah's blood pressure, when taken on his right arm, reads way differently than when taken on his legs. Leg pressure reads between 120-130. Arm pressure reads between 90-100, which is an ideal BP for him. His neck line has already been removed and he is totally free of wires and tubes! I still want to talk to the doctor about the discrepancy between the arm and leg pressures, but it sounds like they are comfortable with it.

Elijah is in great spirits, as usual. He's watching Toy Story 3 and playing with his toy hospital (that happens to have a plastic Dr. Moga and Dr. Gremmels) while we wait to hear when discharge will occur.

He will go home on lasix (fluid retention) and enalapril (blood pressure) and reevaluate both meds next week when we go in to see Dr. G.

I'm still in a bit of disbelief, and haven't processed things yet. Hopefully our next update will be from HOME!
