Brief update

Spend any significant time in a hospital and you'll get used to 'hospital time'.  If some procedure or appointment is scheduled to take 10 minutes, it'll take half an hour, you'll spend an hour beforehand in the waiting room, and you'll spend the next 45 minutes waiting for results.  If you're schedule for something at 10, it'll happen at 2.  Hospitals eat time like candy.

In comparison, getting discharged was a flurry.  The Nurse Practitioner took a stethoscope to him and signed off, half an hour later the cardiac team took a stethoscope to him and signed off, the nurse ran me through the post-discharge instructions in 2 minutes, I signed a few forms, picked up some documentation, and next thing I knew we were sitting in the car driving away from the hospital with all of Wren's balloons, blankets, and diggers stuffed in the back.

Shannon will have another update with some pictures once Wren is down to nap.

They made it home but Wren is too excited to nap. He is wobbly on his feet and enjoying playing animals and reading his new book, a gift from Frost's school friends. Frost is reading to him. Everyone is having a hard time believing the discharge instructions: no wrestling, rough-housing or activities that risk a chest injury for 3-6 months.
