Sebastian is doing better. He continues to improve. He is using his right arm more and more. He is becoming more aware of his right hand. All great news. For the first time in several weeks Sebastian and I got several hours of sleep. It was nice.

So after a good night's sleep, the doctors then came to tell us that we could go home. We played the waiting game all day but we finally got our discharge papers yesterday and got to take Sebastian home. Of course as with all bureaucracies we were told "yes. You're going home today." and then "no. You're going home tomorrow. We are waiting on the insurance authorization." Yes. No. Yes. No and then finally Yes.

The worst part of Sebastian's discharge was that he had to be discharged to one of my parents. Sebastian is now in voluntary placement with Rachel and Austin. I feel like the State is trying to systematically remove our parental rights from all of our children. It's not fair. It's hard on the kids but hopefully now that we have Sebastian home things will be less stressful for everyone.

So for now we are out of the hospital and the kids all get to sleep in their own beds and get to wake up and play with their siblings in their own house. We are on the road to getting back to normal. I hope it's not a long and winding road.
