Home Sweet Home

I am finally back home after my "vacation" at lovely St. John's hospital!! I wish I could say that I feel fantastic, but it's definitely going to be a recovery process. They sent me home on antibiotics, steroids, acid reflux meds, a plethra of other OTC junk, as well as with a prescription for Vicodin, which I hope I won't have to use... Unfortunately, as much progress as I had made on Monday and Tuesday was kinda negated by yesterday's experience with solid food. I realize that it's just going to take some time for my gut to heal.

While the last 2 months has been really tough, I feel better knowing that I hadn't been exposing the baby to all of these treatments during such an important time in his/her development. But what it really boils down to is that I was too stubborn to admit that I needed more medical attention and that allowed the pain to just get out of control. I may regret this later, but I hope that the little bugger got some of this trait because that means he/she will continue to fight to get as big and healthy as he/she can be. Thanks again for all the company and well wishes. It has definitely been appreciated by us both. Well, I'm tuckered out, so I'll talk to everyone later!

I'm sorry to hear that you were in the hospital, Sorry I was completely ingolfed in work and didn't get a chance to read the blogs until Bry mentioned that you were in the Hospital to me tonight. I would have called you to brighten up your day but I didn't know I feel like a terrible friend. Sorry!!!
