She is still having a lot of discomfort from her reflux, but the medicine has diminished the constant vomiting, and is contributing to her weight gain this week. Hopefully we can continue to evaluate her meds and get her onto something that will eliminate a bit more of her pain with feedings.
We just got a few of the photos that were taken on the day we were released from the hospital, 6 ounces ago:) and wanted to share. They are not the best but many are asking how big she is getting. We are grateful for her progress and look forward to seeing her chubby cheeks grow. We continue home health visits for the next couple of weeks and return to Saint Luke's for NICU and pediatrician appointments over the next couple of weeks.
Big sister, Georgia is also making great progress. We attended her fall parent conference this morning and Ms. Abbey had great things to say - always a proud parent moment - not that we can take any credit, but sure feels good to try.
Georgia also attended her first friend birthday party on Sunday afternoon. A princess party no less and had a great time, enjoying brightly frosted cake, a real princess entertainer and her first face painting. She fell fast asleep on our way home and was slow to agree to removing the glitter rainbow on her cheek. I'm not sure where the time goes, but it seems impossible that she's already looking forward to her 3rd birthday!
And Patrick is enjoying his second week home with me and Caroline (maybe enjoying is a little optimistic). He is facing an office move on Friday of this week as his company continues to expand and outgrow their office space.
It's fair to say there is still a lot going on - not sure where the time goes each day. Between home health, physician office visits, and ongoing feedings, the days fly by - but by any definition - Progress!
