Since then we've been recuperating at home and it's been going very well! Chloe had 6 lots of antibiotics per day to begin with, which she didn't enjoy. On the day we returned home, it was noticeable how quiet Chloe was and not herself (even turning down sweets!). I suspect she was a bit traumatised from all she'd been through; I don't think I'll ever forget having to watch her being held down so the nurses could pull out the drain in her side and do up the stitch which had been left there. I can't imagine what it's like for her looking back on those experiences.
However, things are much better now. Chloe is running around with Livia and wanting to be entertained. She's almost back to normal. We had to return to hospital today to have the stitches removed and to have another X-ray. The stitches were traumatic but the X-ray was fine! It showed that there is improvement, despite a lot of cloudiness still on the right side. The only way you can tell now is that Chloe gets breathless very easily and has much less energy. Otherwise you'd never know!
I'm so thankful for the support of friends, family, the church, mums at school, colleagues and people I don't know well at all. It's been such a ray of sunshine (cheesy) to know so many people care about Chloe. I'm so happy it's over now (although I'm only really starting to process it all). A couple of days and I'm sure Chloe will be back to school.
Thank you Jesus for healing my little girl. I thank you for your angels watching over her. I thank you for holding our hands through the whole process and giving us the courage to face everything that was thrown at us. I ask now Lord that you will please bring complete healing and help us to return to normal life. Thank you, amen.
