Sarah & I both stayed the night with Caitlyn and she woke up the next morning a bit sluggish, but that was due in part to the anti-seizure meds they gave her the previous night. After a couple hours of being awake, Caitlyn started coming back to us as the anti-seizure meds started wearing off. It wasn't much longer before she was signing "all done" and wanted out of the crib.
Kate, her ABA Therapist, spent the morning and afternoon with us. She worked with Caitlyn and continued some therapy with her and was able to affirm she was back at baseline as far as Caitlyn's abilities. -Thank you for all your help Kate, you are wonderful!- Eventually Caitlyn got her strength back and was running around and wanting to play.
Later that afternoon we were given the all clear to go home. Caitlyn slept great through the night and woke up with the wonderful smile we are used to seeing when we get her up in the morning.
Many thanks to our family & friends who came up to visit Caitlyn, that sent their concerns, and for those that were praying for her quick recovery. Thank you all! Praise the Lord for the quick recovery!

(from left to right: Kate, Sarah, & Caitlyn)While in the ER, we were telling the Dr.'s & nurses that Caitlyn was "Vaccine Injured" as they were asking for general information. They all seemed to pause and looked at us like we were speaking another language. You almost wanted to tell them that "She was Injured from a Vaccine, hence the phrase "Vaccine Injured"...". It amazes us that in this day and age how the medical community in general is not aware that Vaccines can & do cause Injuries. You get used to explaining this to people outside the hospital in the general public and think that you shouldn't have to explain it in a hospital... Aside from that little frustration, the staff that attended to Caitlyn in the hospital were great.
