DISCHARGED!
As I am writing this Mallory is sitting in her highchair at the Ronald McDonald House apartment eating her second afternoon snack. Actually, one cracker and bite of cheese is going in her mouth and the next it is going onto the floor. Yes, at 2:30 this afternoon we were offically discharged from the hospital! I am exhausted!! I didn't get much sleep last night wondering if today was going to be the day. Everyone hinted all weekend that Monday could be discharge since Mallory isn't hooked up to anything, we know how to give her her meds, they pulled her NG tube on Sunday morning and she is eating so well.
There was some talk about not going back to the RMH until tuesday, but me being the Mom that I am, reminded the coordinators that being in the hospital any longer than necessary leads to a greater chance of secondary infections. :) They just laughed and said, "Yes, we know Wendy".
Mallory is currently taking 9 different medications. You should see our counter! She has a clinic visit on Thursday. At this visit she will have blood drawn to check med levels, have an ECHO, EKG and chest x-ray. Dr. Canter says he may release her to come back to Nebraska on Monday! I am still in shock. I can't wait for our family to be together again. You all won't believe how good she looks! Don't worry, I'll let you all know for sure when we are coming home!

Shock is right! What exciting news! I think I'll go and have an afternoon snack myself in honor of Mallory's "discharge" day! Wendy, I hope you are able to get some rest in the days ahead :) Looking forward to your homecoming, but don't worry, we'll keep our distance (for a little while at least)!
Cheers!
Paula

All I can do is say "WONDERFUL!!!",
you all have made Syracuse proud. Wendy what you have done is amazing. Scott having to be torn between two places, I can't even imagine how difficult that was, I am sure we would all vote him "King for a Day". And the rest of your extended family are always there for you. We look forward to the day this blog comes from only miles up the road. God Bless you all and the family that gave Mallory such a wonderful gift.

I have been following Mallory's progress daily and look forward to having some quiet time to read your updates- I am so amazed with how fast Mallory has recovered so far, and know that it is because she is one strong little girl with a strong family surrounding her. Please contine to keep us Mallory Blog addicts updated. Glad your whole family was able to be together for Mother's Day- what a gift.
Billie Tinant (Deon's sister)
Wow!!! You are such a superstar Mallory! We feel so fortunate to have been able to travel on this amazing journey beside you and your family, thanks to your mom's wonderful updates! What a Monday to remember. We are so happy for all of you and continue to pray for happy healing days with lots of smiles and laughter! So happy you can start thinking about coming home SOON!
All our love-
~The Bernards
Billie is right - there are a lot of Mallory blog addicts and we are so thankful that you have shared your story with us. The whole idea of a heart transplant is amazing and you and your donor are truely amazing. We will continue to pray for you and the families involved.
I'm so happy to read the wonderful news. Way to go Mallory. I had a great visit with your Mom this weekend and she had such a sound of joy and relief in her voice. I offered to make her something to drink, and her comment was she better not or she would probably fall asleep. You take care and can't wait to see you two (that little oh so pink girl as Grandma described her).

What a great way to end the night--with such TERRIFIC news. Pierce reminded me at all of the graduation parties we visited that it was VERY IMPORTANT to save all of the pop tabs from the cans for the Ronald McDonald House for Mallory. I agree! In college, the RMH was our main sorority philanthropy. We volunteered in Omaha often. I always knew it was an especially important place--but now, after hearing of your experiences, it really hits home. Thanks again for the great news.
We're so happy to hear things are progressing so well for Mallory. Continued prayers that your family will be together healthy and happy very soon. Take care Wendy.
P.S. Caitlyn had a great time at the birthday party. Now she is counting down the days until she can have Madison to her party :)
God's Blessings,
The Carlson Family
Congratulatons Mueller family!!!
Everyone is looking forward to seeing you all home safe and sound, together. Keep up the good work and see ya back in Syracuse

Speechless. That's what I am, and for the record, there's only been a very few times in my life that I can say that.
1.) as a newborn
2.) when I'm sleeping
3.) reading about Mallory!
Have a GREAT DAY at RMH having snacks, playing and resting.
Great job Mal!
Jan Moore
Oh that is so wonderful! We knew you were such a strong little girl Mallory! It's almost time to breath Wendy! We are saying lots of prayers for your family! Syracuse is waiting with open arms!
Blessings to you all!
Chris & Nicky Lutjemeyer

We have been reading about Mallory since you went to St. Louis - it brings back so many memories of our family three year ago! I am originally from Nebr City, have an uncle (Charlie Pickering) in Syracuse and one of my co-workers sister is Angie Roberts that has past the information on to us - we take time each day to read what is happening and pray that things go well!! Glad to have you back in Nebraska and best of luck to Mallory and your family!

What a miracle child! We would expect nothing less from this family (particularly the Steinhoff side ;-)! What fantastic news! And more "happy tears" from the Mallory fans!
Hugs to you all!

Wow, that is awesome! Logan said this morning that Mallory might be able to come home "Friday, Saturday, or Monday", and I was cautiously optimistic that was he said was right. I'm so glad that it is! I can't wait to see both your smiling faces at your door when I pick up Logan & Madison next week.
--Still praying for you,
Kay K.
What can we say other than WOW!!! This is the best news ever. Way to fight Mallory and show those Dr.'s who's the Boss!! You all need to be with your family right now back in Nebraska and celebrate!! Our prayers have been answered and will continue to be answered!! God has amazing powers. Mallory, Avery and Tessa are Gods proof!!

Having you all together this past weekend must have been just what Mal needed. We are so excited. Sweet baby girl, you are going to pass all your final tests with flying colors. We hope to see all of you at the "family picnic" in July. It's in doors this year! yeah!!!
M&M Pork
GREAT NEWS!!! Mallory, you are fighter and a winner. Our joy to you and Mommy, Daddy, Logan, Madison, Grandpa & Grandma.
Jerry & Rhae Werner
I am so glad you made this blog because I read it all the time because it interests me so much to see how Malory is doing and I can't wait till she comes home!!! Keep fighting to come home.
Such great news! Hadn't read the blog for a couple of days and WOW is right! To be out of the hospital and soon to be in Nebraska! You are taking GIANT steps Miss Mallory! Your journey has been a long one and thanks for sharing it with all of us. We hope our comments have helped keep you a little connected to home. We continue to keep you in our prayers.
Love,
Renee
Oh my gosh! If this isn't the most AWESOME news--to think that you will soon be making that trip back to Nebraska. It will be great for your family to be all together again. We continue to pray for your healing, Miss Mal. You are one strong little girl. Hope your Thursday appointment goes well.
Dixie
What wonderful news! The Dr was right-the best medicine for Mallory (and I'm sure Mom too) was to have Dad and her brother and sister with her this past weekend. Wendy-can't you just picture everyone here in Nebraska standing up and cheering for your family as we read your blog today that you and Mallory may be coming home so soon?! I picture Memorial Stadium filled with Mallory blog addicts standing and cheering and doing the wave and praising God for the miracle He has given us in Mallory. We will contiue to pray that Mallory's tests are all fine on Thursday and you can make that long awaited trip back to Nebraska to become a family again. Those baby steps will soon be turning into a joyful skip (with a cartwheel thrown in for good measure!) so hang in there!
Mallory & Wendy,
Such joyful news. You two are simply amazing. It will be so good to have to back in Nebraska with Scott, Logan, and Madison. Those baby steps turned into giant steps and we continue to hope and pray for your continued good health and healing. Hope your appointment on Thursday is nothing short of more good news. Have a safe journey home and it will be great to see you. If you need anything just give us a call. You remain in our hearts and prayers. Rita & Tom Compton
Prayer does work! I am Ryan Coe's grandmother and have been watching your site to see Mallory's progress. I am so happy for you all. God Bless, Caryl Nuckols
