Yesterday afternoon, eight days after going back to the children’s hospital in Austin. we finally got word that Indy was free and clear to come home.
Hallelujah!
I think they kept her for even longer than they’d planned, just to be extra confident we wouldn’t find ourselves back there anytime soon.
When we got back home here to the little farmhouse we’ve been renting, as Rebecca and I unpacked (thankfully, some folks here had secretly showed up and cleaned up the house, since we had left everything in such a rush last Thursday morning), Indy and her friends went through more of the sweet cards and letters and played some games together in her bedroom.
Honestly, the outpouring of love from everyone - some we know and most we’ll probably never met - that we’ve received in the last few weeks, has been absolutely humbling for our whole family..
It’s been unusually mild here, especially for mid-July in Texas… so before bedtime, we spent a little time outside getting some fresh air.
And we took a walk down the lane together and talked about the last few weeks.
Where we’ve been and where we’re going. About the surgery and the scary morning, and about how nice it is to be back home.
And we talked about how wonderful it will be when we’re living back home in Tennessee later this Fall or winter.
But for now, we’re just thankful to be home again here in Waco.
PS: Indy’s doing amazing and looking and feeling better than ever. Pretty much completely her old self. And although she’s excited about getting back to sleeping in her big girl bedroom…for the next few nights, Mama’s not taking any chances.
She’s sleeping in a bed at the foot of ours.
