It's been so crazy for the last few days that we've forgotten to get a post up about Ollie coming home. There will be something much longer in the not too distant future.
The gist is that Ollie is at home and pretty comfortable. He is now on supplemental oxygen full time, but at a fairly low level. The biggest difference this has made is allowing him (and his caretakers!) to sleep through the night without constant apnea episodes.
Thanks for the thoughts, prayers, facebook posts, meals, companionship and so much else. This last week would've been an even bigger challenge without all of the help.
Thanks, too, to the fantastic staff at Duke. They made our stay in the ER and PICU as pleasant (and as short) as possible.

Hey Rebekka,
ReplyDeleteI haven't head from you since the conference. It was a pleasure to meet you there. I'm enjoying Oliver's pictures here while I catch up with your lives over the past month or so. Sorry to hear about your elbow. It's always something, isn't it!?
The portraits are just gorgeous. I'm so glad you had them done and thanks for sharing them.
Hang in there, you are doing great.
