Friday-- 7 days since last event
I got a very surprising phone call this morning and a few hours later....
Addison came home! I was like anther little miracle for us. To be honest I am still in the dark as to how it all came to be. We spent the night at home last night again. As I was getting things ready to go back to the hospital for our last night this morning my phone rang. I recognized the hospitals number immediately and panicked worried something bad might have happened. It was Addison's nurse on the phone, they had just finished rounds and she asked if we would like to take her home today. I couldn't say YES fast enough. I threw everything in the car called Chris told him I was picking him up in 30 minutes and we were going to get our baby.
Apparently in rounds they had decided we were competent enough parents to take Addison home with all her equipment without rooming in with her at the hospital for one night. I am not sure what changed, because we had asked for this exact situation on Wednesday and were told no. But I am so grateful it did. I haven't stopped smiling all day.
After a couple hours of discharge paper work and equipment training we loaded her into her car seat ( that about swallowed her whole) and packed up all of her things to go home.
Oh so so happy.
And now we are home snuggling and enjoying our privacy and peace and quiet. Her machines aren't that bad, just some oxygen and a pulse ox. They make it hard to mobile with her, but I don't mind just sitting in bed snuggling one bit.
Thanks again to everyone, your little words of encouragement and love helped us get through these past two weeks. We are so grateful to be home with a beautiful healthy baby girl.
