I woke up at 5am ready to give Raiden his medicine. We were still at the hospital just waiting for his cardiologist to come in and give us the discharge papers. They had explained how to weigh him (we were given a take home scale) and they also gave us a Oxygen reading machine. He gets his blood pressure meds twice a day, he gets lasiks twice a day, and he gets asprin in the morning. 6am and 6pm...easy to remember. When everything was said and done, we got the discharge papers and our little soldier out of the hospital at 11am. 

The first place we went was to see his great grand mother. She wasnt able to make it to the hospital after he was born so we thought we would see her before we went home. After our visit we picked up ebbs and kai from our friends house and went home. They were sooo happy that their little brother was home. For days they asked where he was and why the baby wasnt home. Its amazing how little kids think, they understand so much more than we give them credit for. I would ask ebony (age 6) if she knew where her brother was. She would answer and say "yes hes at the hospital" i would then ask her if she knew why he was at the hospital and she would respond "he had to have his heart worked on to make him stronger". If only she knew.

It was an amazing first day back. I had all my babies with my in my arms, my life felt complete once again!
