I don't have time to type much now, but just wanted to update that we are home.  We checked out late this afternoon.  It's a little scary, but also good to be home.  UNC hospital was a great place to be for all of this!

I did my first sucessful blood draw and reading (had to do 2 readings at the hospital and there was just never enough to do the 2nd read - our machine).  I also gave a shot and measured out portions of a healthy meal.  Joshua was a wonderful help in all of it.  He has been amazing. 

I'll write more as I can later, though I'm going to have to adjust a lot of what I'm doing.  I know going to sleep earlier will be more important as we look to getting on a routine around here with blood checks, shots and meals. 

Thank you for your prayers and encouragment.  I'll do my best to answer - but do know I'm reading and appreciate so very much your words!

With love
Leslie
