In the world of Fire/EMS, A.M.A normally stands for Against Medical Advice. In the Yates world today, It means Against Moms Advice. The doctors refused to take no for an answer from Amy and discharged us from the hospital today. Allison is still needing to be suctioned approximately every 30 minutes, is not up to normal on her feeds, and had a low grade fever last night and this morning. She is also still medically dehydrated. Yet we were discharged from a Childrens Hospital.
Things that make you go hmmmmmmmm.....
The good news.... We are HOME and Allison appears very pleased and happy to be here, showing us her newly toothless grin quite a bit. : } Keala is tickled pink that sissy and mommy are home. Also the insurance company has approved us for an in home nurse to be here while Jeff is at work for at least the first week. That will start on Monday. So for the weekend, it's up to us. They will be reviewing her progress and reassessing her after that first week and they may approve more if it is still necessary. Last year with this same surgery, it took 6 weeks for the swelling to go down enough that she didnt need suctioning. So we'll wait and see.
Will post more later today

Thank you so much for the updates! Allison is so lucky to have such loving, caring, strong, supportive and dedicated parents. Hang in there! It sounds like she wasn't quite ready to go home, but now that she's there I hope she finds comfort in the surroundings and starts to improve! You are in my thoughts.
I just read the whole story. thanks for bloging. i am praying for allison, and the rest of you today. praying that the dumb doctors won't have to regret their "AMA" choice. for your sake...not theirs!!!
much love to you.
