ROUND LAKE, Ill. -- Ronald McDonald House Chicago had been home to 2-year-old Abby and her family, but Wednesday she got to actually go home.With surgery and treatment at Lurie Children's Hospital and a transitional stay at the Ronald McDonald House Almost Home Kids Program, she is able to leave and finally go home for the first time since she was born.
While Abby was getting care, her mother stayed at Ronald McDonald House, where Cox has lived for 721 days - the longest stay at the facility. "In this case, it has been so long and so challenging for them to get to the point where they can depart as a family unit. It is so special," said Lisa Mitchell with the Ronald McDonald House of Chicago.
"We did have some scary moments but she is proving everybody wrong," Cox added."It's been a long journey and I think it's just the beginning."
