We are thrilled to have Adelaide home. The rooming-in on Friday went pretty well. We had no major issues, but sleep was minimal. We spent the morning in the hospital taking care of Adelaide and visiting Mattie. We left at 2:00 on Saturday and headed for home. We almost didn't get to leave. Adelaide was attached with a monitoring bracelet, and our nurse forgot to remove it. As we got near the elevator, alarms started going off, and our nurse said that she forgot to remove the band. Nurses and staff started pouring into the hallways to see who was trying to steal a baby. We all had a good laugh. When we go, we go big. Adelaide had a good night, and we actually got some sleep.
We visited Andrew after leaving Adelaide with Tara's parents. He was doing pretty good. He responded really well to us being there. His blood oxygen went up, and the nurse weaned him down to 70 percent by the time we left. He was really calm. We also gave him a sponge bath. The staff started him on a round of steroids to help his lungs before surgery. His surgery is scheduled for tomorrow at 2:30cst.
Mattie's feeding tube has been removed. She took all 8 of her bottles yesterday, so we hope she can come home some time next week. She's still on the nasal cannula and is anemic. She should be getting a blood transfusion tomorrow to help her out.
Praise
