Going Home!

We're going home!!! Our bags are packed, Mike is loading up the car right now, and we're getting ready to say goodbye to Dupont! We're going home with a feeding tube, so Mike and I have to be able to put one in by ourselves in case it should come out. We practiced on poor little Jack last night, so they agreed to discharge us today. Jack still takes most of his nourishment through his feeding tube, but he can nurse twice a day in addition to the feeds that he gets every three hours. We're coming back to the hospital three times a week to meet with our therapists, and we'll be seeing a lot of Jack's regular pediatrician, too. We've been told that Jack is probably about 2 weeks (or so) away from eating totally on his own. Jack has been such a little trooper, and we are so glad that he's almost well. Hooray!!!

Yay! I'm sure you are very relieved. Jack looks so cute in those pictures. Good luck with everything! Wish we were closer to you guys to help out.

So glad you can finally go home! Just so you know...I picked that giraffe and hat and blanket combo to take my baby home in from the hospital! Different situation-but the exact one from gymboree in a size 0-7 pounds. I'm hoping it'll be a gift...or go on sale between now and June-ish...hopefully beginning of July. Take care and good luck with getting back into the swing of things. We are all thinking of you.
