Believe it or not, almost 30 years ago Kerri came home in this outfit! Since Taylor is coming home later, we thought we'd let them both wear it home.
Hello all. Sorry it took so long to post again. Kamryn did get to come home Monday around 6:30 pm. We got to the room with her and sort of looked around like, "Okay, now what?" As I wrote before, we did get to room-in with her at the hospital the night before. That was fun, but completely tiresome as the room was not very quiet. Our first night home went well. Kamryn finally went to sleep around midnight, and slept until like 8 am, except of course to eat once. Last night she didn't hardly sleep at all, because we think her tummy was hurting, since she hadn't had a 'movement' in a couple of days. We gave her a suppository today, and she went almost immediately after. She is completely spoiled already, because she loves to be held. We have taken her to see Taylor both days since being home. We think the bonding is good for them, and they seem to enjoy it. Taylor should get to come home this weekend. Pray she can get off the canula first. If not, she will have to come home on oxygen. She is getting really close to getting off of it, and mostly requires it just when she's eating. We are ready for her to be with us here, because it is a little extra stressful and heartbreaking having to leave her there. We can't go to the hospital together as much now, either. Hopefully we only have a couple more days like this, though. Taylor will have to be on a monitor like Kamryn, and she will also have an additional monitor which tells us the oxygen saturation in her blood. Even though the monitors can be a burden, I have to admit it really helps us sleep soundly at night. It sounds loud enough to wake the dead if they stop breathing for 20 seconds, or their heart rate slows too much or increases too much. It is truly hard to believe that the time we have all been praying for for our girls is here.
