Gracie is COMING HOME!!!

 It is finally happening!!! We are coming home! Gracie's discharge date is this coming Tuesday, Feb 28th. We have spent the last two weeks making changes to her meds so that we will have a med schedule more appropriate for home and although she will still be on close to 20 meds, she is ready to come home!! I can't even begin to describe what we are feeling right now. The last six months have been unreal in so many ways. We were told in Gracie's second week here, by several doctors, that this day would never come. We believed in her, and we knew in our hearts that her life... was not over. We knew in our hearts that the fight we were fighting to keep them looking for an answer was nothing compared to the fight she was fighting to come back to us. All we wanted was to bring her home again, to have our family under one roof, and to let her know how much we have all been forever changed because of what she has been through. Gracie still has many struggles ahead. Recovery will still be long and hard. We will need everyone's continued love and support. We will also need everyone to be sensitive of the changes Gracie has gone through. She is amazing and all we want is everyone to look at her and realize how far she has come in the last six months, she has literally come back to life. We have been instructed by her Dr's to keep the transition home calm and quiet, so we are asking for no visitors in our first few weeks home, and then we will slowly begin to reintroduce Gracie to her life. I'm sure you all can understand how overwhelming this will be for her and your love and support will continue to get us all through the months to come. I will continue to post updates and pictures!! We love you all so much!!
