The big news of the day is that Grady was discharged today. He is off all of the wires and everything!! He is sooooo cute and we're enjoying every moment with him. He is still on the reflux medicine and Dr Waziri said he'll probably be on it for up to 6 months. We have an appointment on Friday to see the pediatrician and we'll see what he says.
His sister had a good x-ray. The chest tube was removed yesterday and there are no signs of repercussions. She will be weened from the oxygen and hopefully off the cannula tomorrow or Wednesday. Her IV is out and off the antibiotics. She's still on the monitors but we're getting closer. She had a echo cardiogram today - Dr Waziri ordered it because he heard a murmur in her little heart. Dr Chandra will review it and we'll see what he says on Friday.
Today is the first day that they have indicated a discharge date for her - this Thursday is what we are hoping. THings have been sort of crazy here today. Last night we both got hardly any sleep as they are on different feeding schedules (hopefully soon to be corrected) We spend about 2 hours nursing and then an hour off and we're back at it again. Definitely a two person operation. We've been filling out paperwork today for his discharge, getting prescriptions, nursing and more diapers than I can count......
I hope to post some more pictures soon.
Thanks for everyone dropping in and sending stuff. We really feel blessed to bring our babies into a loving world.
