Preparation for discharge...

Emma has really taken off. She took 5 bottles yesterday during the day and they tubed her at night. She takes her bottle between 10 and 15 minutes. With the other bottle it was taking 25-30 minutes. That is really great so she doesn't get worn out. Today they wrote orders for her to nipple every bottle if she wants. They also wrote orders to prepare for discharge in case she takes off this weekend and does well. So we are looking at Monday or Tuesday for Emma to be coming home. Crazy how we were looking at surgery just a week ago. It is wonderful how everything just came together. They will be delivering her oxygen to us and making sure we are set that way. I am taking in her car seat tomorrow for her trial test. I have been trained to give her her breathing treatments twice a day. I know how to give her her meds. She will be on a pulsox moniter along with an apnea moniter. It will be an adjustment but we will get used to everything. We are just beyond ready to get our little girl home!!!! She will finally get to meet Olivia and Loren. We'll pray this weekend goes well. Mike just took in the van today and it needed quite a bit of work. And our swing set/play set was delivered today. So I'm glad we have those two things out of the way. Mom and I really cleaned the house today in preparation before she left so I feel great about that. I painted the changing table doors and I think they are set to be put back on. Mike has been working on the basement and it is coming along. Since we will be confined in the house for the fall and winter, we'll have plenty of time to get more of the basement done.
I'll let you know how the weekend goes. She is ready to come home though!! She is demanding more and more attention. As long as someone is talking to her, she is pretty content.
Thanks for everything!! Interestingly, Emma and Olivia will be 4 months old on Monday. Crazy timing!!
