If Charlie gains six ounces between yesterday and next Thursday, she'll be discharged from the home health program. Woot! Then we'd only have her pediatrician and her surgeon, medically speaking. That would be nice.
Also? She's been home three weeks today.

Dear ghods. Tomorrow, I become the mother of a nine year old. What is up with *that*?!
I'm baking the cake today, and wrapping presents tonight. 'Cause it can't be a birthday if I'm not wrapping stuff till the wee hours of the morning.;) I'm currently putting music on the 4-gig mp3 player we bought her. I looked at a *lot* of them, and I still think this one's a bit small (size-wise, not capacity-wise) but it gets FM, so she can listen to XM Kids (her dad leaves his XM transmitter on during the day, so she can listen to XM Kids on her stereo) and I know she'll get a kick out of that.
This weekend will be hers. I've got a ballet dvd from Netflix, we're hoping to go miniature golfing (indoor course attached to the mall) and if the stars align just right, the theatre in Germantown may still be playing Coraline, so she and I can finally go.
She asked for some barbies about a month ago, and in my search I found Tattoo Fun Barbie (I'm not sure that's the real name, but you get the drift). I bought it and it got here with no problems. A week ago she says "I really hope I get a Tattoo Barbie for my birthday". I suspect her of peeking, but can't actually come right out and say that, so I ask where she heard about it, all nonchalant like. She saw a commercial, and she told me all about the doll and the tattoos and so on. I didn't get the feeling she was lying either. So, two yays, one for getting her a good present and two for no snooping. :)

I want to thank each and every one of you for the love, support and good thoughts sent during the saga of getting Charlie home.
Could we have done it without you? Well, yeah...not doing it wasn't an option. Would it have sucked even more than it actually did? Oh *hell* yes.
I've said it before, and I'm sure I'll say it again. I'm lucky and blessed in my friends and family.

I have "Well Respected Man" going through my head, over and over again.
