As hoped and prayed for, Taylor has done wonderfully off of the oxygen, and she is ready to come home Monday at last. Elizabeth and Brian spent several hours with Taylor Sunday morning, walking her around for the first time, sleeping through her official hospital picture, eating, thanking doctors and nurses, and enjoying one last day in the ICU. Sometime mid-morning on Monday, the doctors will come in, pronounce Taylor ready to leave, and we’ll be on our way home.
We are beside ourselves with excitement at getting our daughter home, and a bit nervous at the same time, but we’re ready to give it our best. Here are the first pictures of Taylor free of all tubes and IVs and ventilators, and ready to take on the world. Monday afternoon we’ll post some of Taylor’s long-awaited and triumphant arrival home.
