Yep, we are HOME! The nurse came in this morning and said she thought he might go home tomorrow and would be surprised if he went home today. But, then, when the nurse practitioner came in, she decided there was no need to keep him there any longer, so at around 5:30 pm today, David got to see home for the first time. He’s been a trooper all evening, with a few visitors (who we asked to come over for a little while) and with Mommy and Daddy trying to figure out what we’re doing. Since we haven’t been home very much, we haven’t had much time to get organized. But, we think we’re going to let “Mimi” help with that when she gets here Thursday.
Anyway, in addition to the most exciting news of coming home today, David also did a car seat study (which is necessary for him to be discharged and requires him to sit in the car seat for 1.5 hours) and he got his first tub bath. He wasn’t terribly happy about the bath, but he does like having his hair washed and he’s very calm once he’s dried off at the end of the bath.
I think that’s about it for today. I don’t know that we will be posting everyday from now on, since we won’t have our 24 hour nurse staff to help take care of him. But, we’ll still keep you updated as much as possible.
Since it was such a big day, there are a few more pictures than usual. Enjoy!!
