I haven’t gotten a chance to update until just now – sorry! Olin was discharged (finally!) Saturday morning. We said our goodbyes at the Well House, packed everything up, and headed home. Olin slept most of the way and did …

The chest tube is out! Already, we are a much happier camper. Tim and I have been having a great day… We hung out, played board games, took a walk, had lunch together… It was just very nice. It’s been …

Olin is doing pretty well, today, all things considered. Tim and I got a very late start, due to a general unwillingness to get out of bed and having to wait for the laundry to dry. We figured we’d miss …

Waiting around… Not sure what will happen, today. The nurse just stopped by to tell us they’re coming up to do another echo. I suppose the results of that will tell me whether or not I’ll be bringing the baby …

Accompanying photo completely incongruous with nature of entry. 😛 We started packing too soon, apparently. The echo showed Olin has fluid on his heart that they are calling “severe but not tamponade”. The Dr. Burkhart’s PA seems to think we’ll …
