Friday, September 7, 2012-10th day following the PA band surgery
Diego had an 8:00am appointment at the hospital. He was given the approval to return home and follow up with the cardiologist in Tulsa next week and have his chest tube stitch removed at that time. After the appointment, we had a few minutes to drop off some thank you cards that Diego made for his two favorite nurses from the PICU-8 South.
We quickly made our way to the Boston Logan International Airport to catch our flight back home. Diego wore his signed Blitz Soccer team jersey both to Boston and for the return flight home as well. It was a rough flight all the way home, especially when we were arriving at the Tulsa International Airport. There were 70mph winds in Tulsa and the surrounding areas. Luckily, Diego was asleep through the roughest part of the flight. All passengers, myself included, were frazzled by the intense turbulence. We were grateful to be safely on the ground.
Diego and I expected my sister and children to be at the airport awaiting our arrival. Much to our surprise, as we exited the airport’s secure area, Diego was overwhelmingly greeted by an enthusiastic group of friends and family! It was amazing to say the least. I don’t know why, but I continue to stand in awe by another glimpse of God's divine grace in our lives. To be surrounded by such love, support and devotion is a true gift that I will forever embrace.
