We're Home
We were able to come home late last night. I was able to do Alyssa's dressing change and hook up her TPN last night with no issues. Other then I am REALLY SLOW!!! But, it will take time and I will get quicker. I just completed my first at home procedure. I disconnected her from the TPN and flushed the line. So she is back to one cord, her feeding tube. It is so nice to be home, but we have lots of work ahead of us. It is going to take a while to get organized and get a system down. There are quite a few medical supplies and our plan is to create individual bags for each procedure, so we are not digging through the boxes every time. This is going to be a stressful phase in our adventure. But, it is better to be really careful and safe then to end up with a line infection.

Were so happy for all you guys! Cheryl & Ron
I am so glad you are home! Toni
Oh this is fantastic news! I am so glad to hear that you are back and home. Alyssa has really smart, careful, and loving parents - all that one can ask for from a home nurse. Lots of happy thoughts during the days ahead as they will likely be the hardest, but nothing that the Brosts can't handle.
That is wonderful news that you guys are back home. Alyssa can go back to sleeping in her own crib again! We are very proud of you, NJ and Kim. Alyssa is lucky to have such caring parents!
Love Jeannette
YIPPEE!!! Glad to hear that you are back home Alyssa. Mom & Dad will make sure that you are well taken care of. I'm sending lots of hugs & kisses your way.
