12:15 PM . DEPARTING HOPKINS WITHIN MINUTES 
At 10:00 AM there was a heart glitch that might have meant a problem, a problem that might have kept us here. After an hour and a half of uncertainty, Col was given the green light to go. All IVs have now been removed. All extraneous cords, except for Colleen's oxygen cannula, have also been removed! At this very moment, Colleen has on street clothes. We're only waiting for hospital "transport" now to wheel Colleen down to the Main Entrance of the hospital.
