The last week and a half.... WOW....

We're home. So thankful to be home. Nathan's first night home was okay. He is really weak and tired, Daddy promised him cheeseburgers, so he's excited for that. Dennis and I were reflecting on the last week and a half. The staff at Seattle Children's is amazing. They really try to make you feel like things aren't as serious as they are. It's crazy to think about how close we were to losing Nathan. He was on two types of epinephrine just to keep his blood pressure up because it was dropping so low. He had severe septic shock ... severe hypotension... in the hospital, all you could do was take it in and step forward - but now that we are home, it's hitting us how serious and scary it was. Now that we have time to think, it's just punching us in the gut. Regardless, he's on the road to recovery. He is a ROCK STAR. I can't even begin to explain how much of a ROCK STAR this kid is. He had 5 different IVs, a PICC line, countless blood draws, a catheter that didn't want to go in, and didn't want to come out. He amazed us every day with how he kept himself together and let them do what they needed to do. I would sit next to him and remind him to breath and he would breath through all this stuff, Super Nathan is a ROCK STAR.  My heart soars ....
