Instead of getting you up to speed on the medical events that happened over the past week, what really matters is that after 125 days exactly, we are all home. Our friends made sure that our non-traditional bringing home baby celebration was still just as special.
We didn't find out that AJ's discharge was even a possibility until Tuesday night. In order to go home, he needed to pass that carseat test and gain weight. He did both so they ushered us out of the NICU early on Wednesday afternoon. KD has been an adorable older sister so far and hasn't seemed too upset with the change in the household. Summit has also handled the change well so far. She wasn't shaken by the new baby but wasn't very impressed with the big sister gift we brought home for KD:
We are still developing systems for our new routine of feeding AJ every 3 hours - no exceptions. He will have another weigh-in tomorrow to see if we have been able to maintain his weight since discharge. He continues to be very tired and so it is difficult for us to get him to wake up and be interested in feeding. We keep telling ourselves to remember this time when he is a teenager and eating everything in the cupboards.
Words can't explain how grateful we have been for all your support and prayers.
