Hope's new good buddy: her home vent!


Hope had a very exciting day today - she left behind her old ventilator and was connected to her new home vent!! This means that if she remains stable for the next two weeks, she will be ready to...

drumroll please...

COME HOME!!!

Really. Honestly: no broken crystal balls, hard to see where this goes, roller coasters, tunnels with distant lights, or honest disagreements between good people. Home.

It is possible, however, that she might not remain as stable as she is today for various reasons. Should such an event occur, it would reset the two week clock. So, to make this easier for everyone, we will update you all on the time remaining for the home vent trial. As such, we now have:

13 days

Please pray for Hope's continued stability, development, and comfort as she proceeds through this incredibly long testing period. Please also hope that mommy and daddy do not pull their hair out or bite off all of their fingernails in the process, and that they can find the time to put Hope's bed together...
