A Very Quick Update!

November 9, 2009

Here's just a very quick update....

Baby Eden will hopefully come home from the NICU unit tomorrow after 11 am...if her bloodwork looks ok! She is looking great, and is recognizing and following her Mommy's voice. It has been a bit of a challenge to figure out just what we are supposed to do each visit because there is no consistency in what each nurse tells us. One day she can have her bear, the next she can't. One day we can unplug her monitors to hold her, then the next day we can't. I have decided that with two different nurses everyday, the parents just don't stand a chance! So Shyla and I have pretty much been doing what we want, and we figure they are there to work, so if the baby cries...or stays awake after we leave....then they will just have to do their jobs.

We have the house in good order, and all the baby stuff ready. Once we get Eden home, we are going to try to not expose her to too many people....we don't need har back in that hospital! Then her Daddy will finally get to love on her.....those doctors are still keeping him away. Totally mean I think. I understand, but he hasn't has d his fever since Friday, and his cough is sound much better. They just won't believe that he is doing better.....mean, I say!

The baby seems to like to be awake for a couple of hours around 8pm, so we are hoping that she will do that for her Daddy tomorrow night. She has gained a couple of ounces....so they say she is good to go once her bloodwork and medicine is finished.

Shyla and Russell are really blessed compared to some of those parents we see in the NICU with their babies. One baby, they won't let have any stimulation....don't know why, but sad anyway!

Well, my camera battery is charging, so no photos right now, but I will put some on later. Must run and put my feet up for a bit...all these stairs have my toe swollen....oh well!
