thankfully when we awakened in the hospital this morning, gavin was feeling much better and able to keep food down. we met with a team of doctors and nurses who told us that neurology disagreed that there was any blood on the membrane. but blood or no blood, it was clear gavin had a concussion. they reviewed after-hospital care and restricted activities and then discharged us from the hospital. gavin rode on kevin's lap in a wheelchair as they were pushed out of the hospital. i was so happy to see gavin smiling. i am so grateful that he is going to be okay.
we were all so happy to leave the hospital, and we went straight to get brooke from heather's house. brooke and stella had had a great time together, and stella did not want brooke to leave :) but, we had important things to do so off we went!
the most important thing for gavin right now is to rest, so we made sure that we got him home for a good nap. meanwhile, i got brooke ready for her dance recital while kevin made an early dinner. kaye arrived, and we all quickly ate and then brooke, kaye and i were out the door and headed back to uc clermont. kevin stayed home with gavin so he could get as much sleep as possible.
i was so happy to be able to be with brooke on this important day and know that gavin was going to be ok. so much has happened in the past 36 hours! but we put all that aside and made sure brooke had a special night. it was a very nice evening, and we took a lot of pictures before the recital. gram vicki, aunt heather, uncle danny, stella and ba kaye all came to see brooke dance. kevin and gavin arrived just before the recital started.
it was a wonderful recital, and brooke danced her heart out! it made me so proud to see her up there on that big stage doing every single dance move, this time from memory! it felt good to sit in that audience surrounded by family, especially after all that we'd been through.
