Rachel came home today around noon. She got a lot better very quickly. Up until yesterday afternoon she was really miserable. Once she was able to take oral meds that totally controlled her pain she started feeling and eating much better. By that evening the nurses were thinking she would be able to go home today.
For those of you hoping to visit her in the hospital, we’re sorry that didn’t work out. You are welcome to visit Rachel at home now if you like, but please call first to make sure it is a good time. She got in bed as soon as we got home, is still pretty sleepy much of the time.
The nurses gave her a nickname during her stay. They called her Hallmark because everything that came out of her mouth sounded like a Hallmark card. We were all VERY happy with everybody at Packard!
Welcome home Rachel! What fantastic news. Her quick recovery is truly a testament to not only the top notch medical care she received, but also to her amazing strength, her fighting spirit and her loving parents.
Hooray!
Love,
Christina
Rachel, I’m so glad to hear that you made it home! You made an amazing recovery. Hopefully we can figure out a time to visit.

‘Hallmark’ is funny but to me you’re an angel, Rachel, full of courage (angels always say ‘fear not!’) and beauty and grace. We love you. Aunt Anne & Uncle John
I am SO happy to hear that Rachel is now home! I have been praying for all of you every day and am so very glad that the surgery went as well as it did. May Rachel’s healing now be swift and may her pain decrease dramatically every single day. Much love to the three of you–you are all awesome and strong!
What great news! Keep eating, Rachel! We are all pulling for you…XO
