We had been in Lebonheur for almost two weeks and we were so ready to go home.  Today was the day.  Keelie was to try to eat breakfast and we had to be educated on seizure precautions and we were going to be released.  Yay for home......  The nurse came in and educated us on the Diastat, which is a medicine used if Keelie has a seizure lasting more than five minutes.  Then she went over the Keppra medicine as well.  Keppra is a medicine she takes twice a day every day.  It's supposed to help with seizures.  So we got released around noon.  We decided we wanted to go to Costco before we went home.  Granna had Cayden and she was going to meet us there.  Keelie seemed to be feeling good and we all had been stuck in the hospital for so long we thought it would be nice to do something.  Big mistake.  Keelie fell asleep before we got there.  So we had to wake her up.  This is one of the problems with her.  When she is awakened and has not had enough sleep she is limp and lethargic.  So we went in hoping she would perk up and it didn't happen.  The trip was a flop.  We didn't stay very long.  One lady told Granna that Keelie didn't look as if she felt too good.  If she only knew.  We all just get too emotional when this happens to her so we loaded up and headed home.  On the way home we realized the pharmacy closes at 6:00 pm.  We needed to fill her medicine before we went home.  We stopped in New Albany and filled the Keppra and we filled the Diastat in Starkville the next day.  We got home a little after 7:00 pm.  AHHHHHHH  home sweet home.  We ate a little supper, took baths and went to bed.
