Home Sweet Home!

We are once again where we belong.....at home! Brooke got discharged this morning. She had a rough night last night and she SCREAMED for an hour. We still don't know why, but I am SOOOO happy we didn't have to stay. I told the doctor I have lots of kids that scream so it's ok :) She is super happy at home. She's been all smiles since we arrived, so have the other girls. I did the usual vacuum, bleach the counters and floors and now it feels clean (as clean as it can be with 5 kids.) Now we get back into our routine. The "Koeman" normal. Brooke will need IV antibiotics til Friday. The doctor also said he's going to s l o w l y start to decrease her IV meds and see what she does. Either Meg's bone marrow will take over or it won't. We'll see. Nothing happens quickly with Brooke so we'll just be patient and enjoy every minute. The doctor told her in the hospital "Brooke your 2nd year of life will be much better than your 1st." Brooke laughed at him. I hope that was a good laugh :) Enjoy the beautiful weather with your families.
