Home and Prepped for the Hurricane

Well we are home now. We had a short time frame this morning to get all the needed paperwork done, scripts, DME orders, and everything done so we could be discharged and head home. The hospital social worker made sure we had access to medical transport in case it is needed. They made sure we are on the shelter list in case we lose power.

With everything lined up (DME delivery lined up for Thursday if ALL goes well) we were discharged and daddy came to take us home. We loaded everything up, loaded the car up and came home. On the trip home we passed by a huge convoy of trucks and vans with FEMA, Homeland Security, Search and Rescue, and Red Cross. No clue how many were in the group but there were a LOT and they all had their emergency lights flashing.

As soon as we got home, quickly and carefully Ellie was scooped up from the truck and carried in the house as the winds are so string already. (We are having gusts just over 30mph) We also emptied everything we could from the truck and got in out of the wind and rain.

The first thing Ellie did when getting home of course was to run and hug each of her brothers and sisters, tell them about some of her "adventures" then start carving pumpkins with everyone.
