We are home.....
Sam is fine and healing nicely. We were sent home on oral antibiotics--but we need to watch Sam closely. There were some Docs who recommended that we stay--but our main Doc said that they would just be watching him on the oral meds to see how he fares--and that we can do that at home.
If there is any additional sign of infection--we will be admitted to the hospital for a week of IV antibiotics--so for now--we wait and pray that he will continue healing and that God will watch over him and protect him from any further infection.
It has been a long four days--we are weary, but grateful. I have so much more to say--but for now--I am going to enjoy my kids, my home, and my husband. We are ready to eat ice cream and watch a movie--and try to feel normal once again!
Thank you for all of the support--it is felt through all the e-mails, facebook messages, phone calls--we are so fortunate to have so many that care so much for our beautiful little boy!

I was so relieved to hear that you're back home and Sam didn't need more surgery! I can't begin to imagine how difficult this journey has been for your family. We're praying that the antibiotics were well and you can continue recovering at home!
Sending love and hugs your way. Praying that Sam fully recovers with no more trips to the hospital! Enough is enough, right?!?! Hang in Amy - Give Sam two BIG hugs for us! Love, Judy & Brian
Amy,
I know all too well that complication and how scary it can be but I also know who is in the business of healing! I am praying for your sweet boy and that you have no more concerns with his graft sites and that those antibiotics work quickly.
