DH and I are overjoyed that we will have at least one of our boys home tonight!!!
Here he is snoozing on his last night in the NICU!
He will not have to go home in a monitor, but does have a few meds he will need to take so his hematocrit will continue to increase. (poly-vi-sol w/iron, another iron supplement, and colic acid).
The car seat is in my car parked at the hospital...his going home outfit is washed...he had his last speech therapy appointment at noon (see below)...the neonatologist has seen him...DH is off tomorrow thru Sunday-- let's do this thing!!!
So why am I sad???
We still have to leave Christopher at the NICU. In a way, this is a day I was afraid of. Leaving Christopher here by himself is a horrible thought to me. He has alway had his brother with him, even if he was across the room. It will also be much harder to manage a baby at home AND at the NICU instead of one location. I'm worried we won't get to see him as much; that it will be too hard bringing Mason back and forth each day, 45 minutes each way. I also don't want to expose Mason to extra germs it bring any with us.
I have only missed 1 day out of 67 because I was sick and not allowed in. I don't want to miss seeing Chris at all-- especially since he is getting so much better at his breast feeding.
*sigh*
Am I happy? Yes.
Do I wish they were both coming home instead, obviously.
I just know this will make us even more ecstatic when Christopher can come home too. Both if my baby boys, home, where they belong.
