We got home but with a not so fun homecoming

I was not able to update much in the hospital due to poor internet connections. Dr. Hermann let Emily go home on Saturday night. To back up a bit on Thursday they took the epidural out. It was a rough go at first but Emily was a trooper. The pain is under control with medication but Emily is still dealing with alot of nausea. This morning she threw up several times. She still needs alot of help getting around. Recovery is going to be slow. Last night when we got home it was very short lived.  Within about 15 minutes we were back in the car and on our way up to Medical City again. Megan went into anaphylaxis shock. We are thinking it was a reaction to everyone eating at Churches Chicken. Megan did not eat anything but it was caused by being touched after others ate. We are thinking that they cook with peanut oil. It was so scary. We got to the hospital and within about 5 minutes they had Megan hooked up to the heart monitor and had an IV started. We were discharged early this morning. She is okay now. Oh how fragile life is.
