Home again

Noel was released from the hospital early this afternoon. Prior to his release, he had been climbing up to the window sill and going head first back to the window seat (repeatedly), riding a Thomas toy, playing with the buttons on the bed, and just in general being himself. In addition, his fever had been gone for 24 hours and he'd been off oxygen nearly as long. The number of wet diapers today showed dehydration was no longer a concern, so we were ready to go. Noel will be on antibiotics for the next 12 days and has his two-year checkup on Monday, which will be perfect timing as he needs to see his pediatrician to follow up on his illness.

As we left the hospital, we stopped by the rooftop garden. What a great place. The weather was insanely nice today, by the way. Is it really November already? Somebody's got a birthday in five days!

I'm glad to hear that he is home. And you're right, that Garden is BEAUTIFUL!! We spent many days out there in February when my nephew was there.
