Home again, home again, jiggity jig.

We are out of the hospital!

Elijah already has two follow up appointments, one with his pediatrician and one with his cardiologist.

He's going home on aspirin and two different diuretics, aldactizide and furosemide. They will wean him off the diuretics over time, but the aspirin is probably for life. Good thing it tastes like candy.

In addition, he is on scheduled ibuprofen and acetaminophen for inflammation and pain.

It was such a relief to leave that he immediately fell asleep in the car. He has been on high alert for the past week, looking out for nurses in blue scrubs. He's going to be a little shy for quite a while.

This blog will now return to its regularly scheduled programming. Thanks for following Elijah's progress. Look forward to news about the rest of us!
