Homeward bound


We had an awesome weekend and looks like it may be the last one we spend here! Alex is doing so much better and eating and breathing beautifully. Her O2 requirement is low (hopefully will just go away soon) and she's managing to get most of her bottles down on her own. If she fatigues towards the end then they just give her the rest of the formula through the tube. She has her days and nights figured out and is sleeping well at night. She is so ready to come home.

Alex had grandmas, nanas, aunties, uncles, cousins and of course mommy and daddy here this weekend to keep her entertained. The only thing keeping us here at this point is special ordering the formula thickener for home. Docs tell us she should be discharged Monday or Tuesday. Words cannot express how happy we are :)

So exicted for little missy! She is something else let me tell you...It was amazing seeing her and the way her eyes light up when she sees her mommy and daddy, that big smile she gets, like theres not a care in the world because you are there...you are her strength, and it was a beautiful thing to see :)
