Going Home

We had a bit of a rough night in the hospital. We were extremely uncomfortable in the tiny stuffy room located right next to the VERY noisy nurses station. For some reason Brekka had a very stuffy nose and was having a hard time breathing. We tried putting salt saline, as well as medicated drops in her nose, but nothing seemed to help. To top it off the nurses were in and out, taking Brekka to do assessments on her, making her cry right when we had her settled down and breathing better. At three in the morning Darrell was packing our things, determined to leave. After reminding him that she still had tests to be done that I was NOT going to come back for, we decided to stay and tough it out. I held her in my arms for the rest of the night and we both drifted off to sleep a few times. By the time we finished everything on our discharge checklist it was about ten a.m. and boy were we glad to get gone. Thankfully Brekka's nose cleared up as soon as we got home. As you can tell from her pictures, she was happy to leave as well.
