I Meant "Shoot!"

Ira's home. Once Ira stabilized, I knew it was time to get home. The PICU docs didn't feel the same way. They were worried that Ira's throwing up and his loose stools would result in dehydration. They wanted him to stay in the hospital to see if Ira could tolerate his feeds. What I couldn't get through to them was that Ira always has a little bit of reflux. I lobbied hard and got our other docs on the case. Ira's pulmonologist, surgeon and pulmonary hypertension doc all cleared Ira to go home. So it happened. Ira and I got home about 7:30 PM after being in traffic for a little more than two hours. We're glad to be home. Thanks for all your prayers.
