9:20 P.M. Well we finally got Stacey home, she was not real sure we was taking her home so she didn't act to excited about when we showed up, but as soon as she seen we were packing up her things she was running up and down halls in the wheelchair just waiting for them to open the doors, and oh my goodness when they did she was out the doors and gone, I had to stay and sign some release papers and Ray was pushing her things when he had to stop and go direct her in the right direction and then he had to hurry up because he thought she was going to catch the elevator before he caught up to her. But she was quiet for a little while, but then I started doing some of our old play games and it wasn't long she was chatting up a storm and I was able to get a few smiles out of her. I was really so glad to be bringing her home, I don't think I really realized how much I really missed her. But we got home and Ray's mom had the outside covered with balloons for her birthday and for her coming home, it was really nice so then we had alot of people stop by to welcome her home, she didn't care to much at first but then she was looking at everyone and answering there questions mainly yes and no, but I asked her plenty of times if she was glad to be home and she said yes, so by 7:30 she was in bed she was falling asleep on us so we laid her down and she was out like a light. Then we got up early Friday morning for her dental surgery and we got in at 7:30 but after blood work and getting a IV started she didn't get in for surgery or cleaning until 10:00 but it didn't take long, one twist of the IV and she was out like a light, it took them an hour and half and then they came to talk with me they said with all that she has been threw she was starting to get 4 cavities on the top 2 on each side they were small but they went ahead and took care of them, but with the malnutrition at the beginning of when she was not able to eat because of her spleen for weeks her teeth got loose and some are twisted a little, and for not being able to brush them for 10 months he said they were not that bad, he said it was good that she took such good care of them before, that may have been the only thing that saved her teeth. I was really glad to hear the news, I thought for sure they would have to pull some of them, and that would have been bad, she was really particular about her teeth, so I was glad it went well. So we came home and ate dinner and again she went to bed early. Today we got her up and I was able to get her in the shower myself she has really been doing more when we ask than usual, but we gave her a shower and fixed her up for today we had her birthday party today and alot of people showed up, was not expecting that many but it was nice, I think she was even enjoying it to, it took a few times but she finally blew out her candles for me, but she ate and visited and then ate some cake, I laid her down at 6:30 to change her and I said ok lets get up and she said no it time for bed, so I thought she just wanted to lay down for awhile but then she started taking her shirt of and her shorts off so I said I guess your ready for bed then uh and she said yeah. I looked back in on her at 7:00 and she was out and she is still sawing logs now. I am not use to her going to bed so early or so easily but these last three days have been long days, so I guess I don't blame her. She is not on any meds right now and she has the shakes which she had them before but it seems to be more worse now, but a few people told it may just be side affects from them stopping all her meds at once like he did, I'm not for sure but I guess we will see, we did say we wanted to see what she was like on no meds. But all and all it was a good end to the week, I still need to get my paper work into the YMCA and then we can start taking her and getting started on getting her up on her feet, I can't wait from what little I have seen since she has been home hopefully it won't take long. Well I guess that is all for tonight Thank You All and God Bless. I tried to get a picture on tonight of her from today but for some reason the pictures I downloaded will not come up on the blog so maybe next week. SORRY!
