"So, you think we can go home by her birthday in three weeks?" I ask Dr. Green because I don't want to do anything that might set Abby's recovery back. "I wanted to throw her a little party."

"That's great news."

I sigh and hug him. "It's going to be a long road ahead, but we'll get there."

He kisses me on top of the head. "We will indeed."
