"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."

"The defect in the heart wall is okay for now. As she grows, and her heart grows, it will need constant adjustments. Hopefully we can get her to a point where there will be no further deterioration meaning a heart transplant won't be needed." "I understand."

"This is going to mean operations and adjustments for much of her childhood. I think a birthday party 'might be just the thing to keep her spirits up. Don't overdo it though. She needs a lot of peace and quiet.

"I'm just part of it. She's a lucky kid to have such a dedicated support system."

"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."

The nursing staff come in to do her vitals and make sure her meds are doing their job.
