GOING HOME !

NO TUBES, NO WIRES, NO IV'S, NO MONITORS
DAY 41:
Weight 7 lbs. 13 oz.
Whoopie!! The docs came in today and said we could go home. YEAH! Only problem is they have poked around with setting up discharge stuff (CPR class, nutrition consult, medications). So we are all here hoping all the right things happen today and we will be headed home. We were hoping for friday, so a BIG surprise when they said today.
Won't Jackson be surprised when he gets home today!

As for Abigail.... no signs of infection and blood clot has remained the same size (will continue Lovenox at home for 4-6 wks and be followed by Hematologist). Mommy got to take out the NG tube on Monday. What a difference that made with her feedings. She has been eating 66-90's of milk with every feed!! Her PICC line was taken out today. All of her leads and wires are gone... I can walk around with her without restrictions. She is FREE!!!
Well, I will keep you all posted. Keep your fingers crossed!!
