I AM COMING HOME TONIGHT – SEE YOU SOON, November 26
November 26, 2007
Hello everybody! Dr. Campion came by my hospital room with Dr. Alexander at 5:30 this afternoon and he said I could go home! I am so so happy! I will come back to see Dr. Campion for checkups for the next year while my spinal fusion heals.
We have packed everything and my dad has loaded the car. Right now it is 8:30pm and I am eating at Wendy’s in the hospital with Nicholas and my parents. I wanted to eat at Wendy’s before leaving the hospital. My dad says I will be home by midnight. I cannot wait to see my dog Buddy and sleep in my bedroom.
Good bye Chapel Hill. Hello Charlotte. Good bye and thank you to all the doctors and nurses who helped with my surgery and recovery. Good bye Dr. Campion and Dr. Alexander, I will see you after Christmas. Good bye Dr. Lisa in PICU. All of you here at UNC Children’s Hospital are the greatest. Somehow I actually enjoyed my recovery time here at UNC. I will be back to visit you next year. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU DID FOR ME! You all are so nice, and I will miss you.
Thank you for all your prayers to help me heal and bring me home. I love you all!
Julia

Hello Julia. I’m Karlie’s Aunt Brenda (her favorite Aunt of course
. I can feel Karlie rolling her eyes as she reads this! I just wanted to tell you how great it is to hear you are finally home! I’ve been reading your updates and can’t tell you how great it is to hear about your progress, not to mention reading the messages of your faithful army of supporters. I know you still feel weak and can’t wait to get back to some of your normal activities, but try to relax and enjoy being waited on! Hopefully you and Karlie can meet soon. In the meantime, rest and get well!
