Home for the holiday weekend!

We are home!  And, the best part about all of this is that Ty's doctors took him off of his TPN because he is eating so well.  That means we were able to "de-access" his mediport and he can go swimming over the holiday weekend!  I hope he will give it a try. I think it would be a lot of fun for him, and great for his PT if he gets in the water and kicks around a bit.  I think the weather in NY is supposed to be beautiful.  I just hope Ty improves with each day because he still isn't 100% which has me worried.

Ty's eyesight still hasn't returned to baseline, but his eyes are improving slowly.  I was hoping to see a more significant improvement by today, so I have very high anxiety over whether or not the doctors may have missed something during our latest hospital stay.  They deliver their thoughts with such confidence that I am totally reassured Ty will be fine, right up until they walk out of the room and my mind starts racing again.  I must have asked every doctor that came into the room about whether or not it is okay that it is taking so long for his eyes to return to normal.  I can tell that they are a little baffled by it, too, but they don't seem very concerned about it either.  It's so hard for Lou and I to stay calm during days like these.  We were pretty much silent the entire ride home while Ty slept because our minds were racing with worry. 

Luckily, when we got home Ty really perked up.  He was so happy to be here, Gavin was so happy to see Ty (it was adorable), and Ty began eating like crazy which I consider a sign that he is feeling really good.  He smiled a lot and was full of "I wub you's" all afternoon.  I felt so much better after seeing that.  Right now he is resting peacefully on the couch and I can barely keep my eyes open.  I'm guessing he will wake up rearing to go as soon as I try to whisk him off to bed with me.  Per usual.

Anyway, while we wait for improvement, Ty will be chillin' in his sunglasses, passing time eating chippies and blue lollipops.  Love him so much.  So happy to be home!!!!!!  I hope Ty and Gavin enjoy the fireworks this weekend.  Happy fourth everyone!! 

WUSSUP?

  5. Ty is such a yummy boy in that picture. Likely his eyes just need a little time to return to normal. It will happen!!
    Just like Annette, I show and talk about your blog to everyone. The amount of people praying for Ty grows every day.
    With love and much admiration.
