Elise is home!

Elise was released from the hospital today! We're very relieved and very grateful that she is okay and that we have her home now. The doctors decided that the seizures were caused by the virus that she had contracted--all the tests they ran came back normal and didn't show the usual signs of seizure activity. So, they'll follow up with her in a few months and check her out again, but we can be fairly sure that she won't have any long-term effects.


Elise loved having her John Deere blanket and got quite a few compliments on it from the nurses--they all loved it and wanted to know where to get one. Too bad it's one of a kind...


When Elise got feeling better she loved playing with all the toys. See her glowing toe? She loved trying to pull it off and play with it and constantly set off the monitors. She'd play with it at night when everything else was dark.

I'm so happy to hear she's okay! What a scare! She looks so grown up, I can't believe you have a one year old!
