Avery is home.I went to stay at the hospital with her yesterday and last night the doctor came in and released her.It was very late by the time we eventually got home 10:30 pm !-He came in around 6 or7, because I figured by then, he wouldn't make his round till this morning.After he decided to discharge her,they had another bag of antibotics they wanted her to get.That took about an hour to hour and a half.Then I got them to call her meds in,so they would be ready and I wouldn't have to sit in the parking lot, at the drug store, at night with her.Then it was an hour drive home.By the time we got home she was still hyper from the breathing treatment she took before we left,so it was a while before she settled down for the night.I slept with her in my guest bed, and after she went to sleep,she slept well.Here's her before we left,I took a few pics.Look at her tan lines on those tiny legs.You can see where her braces stop.Thank you Cuties for all your support,I think she is on the mend,but still has a rattling cough.She is still on antibotics,steroids to keep the airways open and breathing treatments,so she should be okay again.Love to you all, from me and my girl-Toogie

Oh! what a little angel and such a gorgeous face Toogie. God be praised for bringing her safely home. You are such a comfort for your family to be so willing to help out in an instant. May Avery continue to gain her strength and health back. She is such a beautiful looking girl, love her eyes. Love to you all Chris

Chris, about 7 or 8 months ago,Ashley's husband had bought tickets to a huge concert,for part of Ashley's christmas present.The concert was last night.They weren't going to go,but he paid dearly for these tickets,to get up close to the stage.I said go.Avery was better and they needed to relax.They both work hard,tend to Avery,try to let Mason be involved in sports,etc.care for a baby,involved in church work, and Ashley is in 3 bands! I told them to go.The doctor asked last night, if the parents would be back, to bring her home.I said no,they are 3 hours away at an engagement.He said, well they must trust you a lot to leave her, so he felt it was alright to release her to me.I told him I have been there since 'before' they were born and he said he kind of figured that...They text me from the concert and I text and told them we were coming home,to my house.I told them to go home and sleep all day today,if they wanted too.-lol-They came by and just left a little while ago,to go pick up the other kids at the other grand parents........I talked them in to leaving her here-lol-tomorrow is church and Ashley's gospel group is playing at another church after lunch,about an hour away.It is easier for me to miss and she can pick her up after everything tomorrow evening.It is also easier,we don't have to pack all her stuff back and forth,between our houses.I don't mind...I get to sleep/cuddle with her again tonight-lol

Toogie you are amazing and I am so glad Avery is home.
by toogie 25 May 2014
No,crafter2243,I'm just a grandma, but I am glad she is here.
by pennifold 25 May 2014
Oh! Toogie, I'm so glad I've met you on here. You are an inspiration to me, along with quite a few other women who are simply amazing Mothers, Sisters, Aunts and Grandmothers. You have such devotion for Avery, Mason, Nora and your other grandchildren. I bet your family are just so thankful that you are there for them. Isn't it great being a grandmother? Love Chris

I hope its gone before the meds run out,too.This roller coaster we are on is some ride! But she is so well worth it.Can you tell how much she is loved?!!!!-lol
by sewilso 24 May 2014
Yes I can, as I said before she has the best Grandma. Keep faith that she will continue to improve, get plenty of rest if you can, I know all of your are probably exhausted. Sending hugs and prayers.
by toogie 25 May 2014
Thanks,I 'm not too tired,but my lower back is bothering me a little tonight.I took some Aleve earlier so maybe it won't get too bad.When her parents came today,they bathed and washed her hair, so that was a big help.

You are welcome.Sometimes I think maybe I post too much, but then I know I like to hear how things go for others,after their inital post.Sometimes people post something,and you respond,wondering if they ever read your response, because they never comment.I don't want to be like that...We are glad to have her home again,too,thank you.
by asterixsew 24 May 2014
it is sad here when people respond to help and there is no reply. You must be one brilliant grandmother

Amen,I agree.Her mom likes to dress her girly and Avery doesn't seem to mind.Her hair is longer than it has ever been,although it is still so broken in the back, for all the straining and rubbing she does with her head.

I'm nothing special,any of you would do the same, if this were yours.We had a good night and she is awake earlier than usual,so maybe that's a good sign.

She does look a lot better,doesn't she.She must feel better this morning,because she is a little early bird and that is unusual for her,lol she normally likes to sleep in.
