Home Sweet Home

I am blogging tonight from HOME!  We are so excited to have her here with us...it's a miracle!  She's a miracle!

This is gonna be quick because I'm kinda tired and we have a busy day tomorrow.

Abbey welcomed Emma Kate into the world on Monday.  I saw a pic today...can't wait to give her some sugar!  She looks like a toddler to me though...Battley weighs 3lb-11oz and EKate weighs 8lb-5oz!!!

Tomorrow we will go see a cardiologist and her pediatrician.  It will be a challenge to handle 2 appts with her feedings (she is still tube fed), but we are up for the challenge!

Today had its ups and downs...we could surely play high/low with today and have lots to talk about.  

Battley was great today...no apnea spells!

We met with hospice and got all her equipment transported to the house: apnea monitor (we've decided she will only wear it at night when we are sleeping or when we just can't possibly pay full attention to her), oxygen (not for full time use...just if she needs a quick breath), and her feeding pump.  That pump was a challenge...we got a different one than we used in the hospital and the first time we used it at home was a bit of a disaster...stressful too.  Some really awesome ladies solved that problem for us though!

We had to say goodbye to all B's nurses.  We love them so much and feel like they are part of the family now!

Adam's parents had to leave and head home today.  We thought we would get to spend some time with them at home,  but it just didn't work out that way.

A pic of our sweet gal in the carseat on the ride home:

More pics to come when/if we can get some time to get them off our camera.

Thank you to everyone who has prayed for us.  You can't imagine how lifted up we feel because of that.  We read each one of your messages...even though responding may take us a while.  They mean so much to us!

XOXO,
