Home


After 35 days in the hospital, Eddie is here! I'm just getting organized, making my charts, nursing and pumping. Augh!

So much to do, not to mention the other two who are still at the hospital (and the big sister who's at her gramma's with a fever- poor thing). It looks like they may be at the NICU for a little while longer. Jake had to go back on the caffeine, as he was having breathing episodes without it. They've also cut back on his and Mary Beth's "nippling". This means they don't eat as much out of the bottle/breast. In order for them to come home, they have to be nippling for every feed, and of course breathing on their own with no assistance for at least 5 days. So we'll see on those two. I'd rather they have those problems in the hospital with all the doctors and nurses around than here at home!

Welcome home little buddy! Now you can get your dibs on all the cool stuff before the other guys get their grubby little paws on it!

Smooches,
Martha

Way to go, Eddie! So glad you have him at home now :) I'm praying for your other two sweeties to get to follow him really soon.

Yay!! One at a time is a good plan...whew! Thanks for keeping up the blog - it is so good to see the progress since I can't be there in person!

Lots of love and prayers,
Lilly
