Home!


Please forgive the hiatus in writing - it's been a busy couple of days!  Tuesday we unexpectedly discovered that Missy was going to be discharged.  It was an emotional homecoming for someone who hadn't stepped outside for over three weeks.  It was really nice for Missy to be able to tuck JJ into bed and have one last night of our "old" family as it used to be, at home.

Today was a whirlwind.  The Neonatologist called this morning to say that Luke was ready to go home. We spent the entire day at Northside finishing up things to prepare to leave.  We took an infant CPR class and waited for the 90-minute car seat stress test (Luke had to maintain an above 88% oxygen level for 90 minutes while sleeping in our car seat).  After that, we were sent home!  

Lauren continues to improve and we expect that she will be discharged to come home before the weekend.  It's been a busy and tiring day - who knows what tomorrow brings...
