We're Home Again!

Nora was discharged yesterday!

She did so well on her feedings. As soon as we started giving her bottles she started guzzling them down. I think she has finished every 8 oz bottle she has had since then! Since her antibiotic course is completed and the tests show no more infection, she was discharged to finish recuperating at home. She is still having periodic fevers and digestion issues, but they should improve as she rests and gets medicine at home.

We came home yesterday afternoon to a house in shambles as the house painters were working. Andy made a little spot on the basement for Nora to play away from the activity. Nora's schedule is all out of whack from the hospital. She seems to only be sleeping for 3/4 hours at a time. It is like she is a newborn again! Hopefully she will do better tonight.

Andy got to sleep an entire night in our own bed for the first time in nearly two weeks! I took the night shift with Nora last night to let him get some rest.

I am easing back into work this week as Nora continues to improve. Hopefully she will be back to 100% by next week and things will get back to normal. Whatever that is.

Thanks again to everyone for their support, prayers, gifts, food, emails, cards and more. Andy, Nora and I are lucky to have so many friends and family who care about us.

I got a new video camera for my birthday so my next post will hopefully be some happy videos instead of a hospital status update!
