We went up this morning to visit little miss for a while. I'm definitely ready for her to be home. The drive back and forth to Albany is getting a bit much (you don't even want to see what my credit card bill is for gas!), plus the weather is more and more frequently yucky!
Ellie was doing pretty good though. She was eating well, but the heat thing is really what is slowing her down and keeping her from coming home. The nurses are planning on trying again tomorrow, to turn off her heat.
Day 24 ~ January 14th
Ellie had another good night, in regards to her bottles. The nurses turned off her heat today at 1:30pm....now is the moment of truth. (I thought they were leaving her heat on for good, but I guess not). As of the evening Ellie was still doing ok with her feeds. We didn't go up to visit.
Day 25 ~ January 15th
Didn't go up again, but Ellie had a good night. She got a bit pokey with her feeds, but the nurses forced it down. They actually put the temperature up in the room and kept her bundled up so that they wouldn't have to turn her heat on again, since she was a little on the cooler side.
So far they're all talking about her possibly coming home tomorrow, since she's been 24 hours now out of heat and is still eating well. I won't know for sure until tomorrow morning.
Day 26 ~ January 16th
Called this morning and she's officially being kicked out of the NICU! YAY! Heading up in a little bit to bring her home!

Yay for Ellie's homecoming!!!
I was so worried she would have failure to thrive. Hold her against your skin. LOTS. skin to skin. She has missed you. They always know who their mommie is. So many of us are praying for you.
Horray!!!Praying life with 4 kids at home is going well. :)
