Welcome Home Debbie - I'm just so relieved for you that things went so well - by the sound of it, much better than you'd hope for.
It's just so sad isn't it?
I'm not surprised a little family 'row' broke out on the way home - a 14 hour drive - Good Grief!!! That's one looooong drive.
Time for Tubby and Peanut cuddles methinks!!
