I just wanted to give a quick update to say that we all made it home yesterday. The official review of Eli's echo came back, and all structures looked age appropriate. The pediatrician gave him a clean bill of health, and we were discharged late in the afternoon. Unfortunately, we managed to get discharged without my pain medicaton prescriptions. Ouch! Of course I realized this about two minutes down the road, so we turned around, and Ryan was able to run in and get that straightened out.
Eli slept most of the evening, so he was ready to be held and fed most of the night. Luckily we were able to get a few hours of sleep this morning. Today Eli has been a very easy baby.
We are soaking up all of the experiences we never got with our other children. Clayton is loving Eli. He constantly wants to hug and kiss on him, sometimes more than Eli wants. Although we feel like the luckiest parents in the world, it's hard not to imagine what it would be like to have our three boys at home. We sure are missing Colin these days.
how very sweet. soak it up, it goes by so fast (especially when you are sleep deprived).
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Wendy, Ryan and big brother Clayton. Eli looks wonderful and I'm glad your prayers were answered and Eli is healthy. What a precious early Christmas gift from heaven above.
ReplyDeleteCoincidentally, the same day your Eli arrived, our little Lucy was born at 2:30pm. December 5th was a great day.
Best wishes and Merry Christmas.

Congratulations on your new baby!!! I wish you well in your recovery. We just had a baby November 24 and it's still slow-going for Cecilia. So, take care of yourself and have a wonderful Christmas holiday with your little one.
