Sorry that it has taken so long for an update. The past few days have kind of been a whirlwind and while we were in the hospital we could not get on the blog (their internet blocked the site). Here is a recap of the last few days!
November 20--We got word this morning that we are headed to step down today! We ran back to the hotel and got everything packed up and loaded in the blazer! Who knew you could accumulate so much crap in 3 weeks. We had to meet with the oxygen tech before we could go to step down and after an entire day, they finally showed up. About 6 at night, we put our stuff in a hospital room and they brought Randie into our room. What an amazing feeling to finally all be together as a family!
November 21--Well last night went really well. She was up every 3-4 hours to eat and went back to bed. Of course we couldn't sleep so we gave her a bath again just to make sure we knew what we were doing. We got word this morning that we are headed HOME today! Even though its snowing and cold outside, we are headed home! Dr. Guerue came in and checked her out and said she looked great! We have to go back next Wednesday for a follow-up appointment! There will be a home health nurse that comes over and checks her oxygen and weight gain as well! We got discharged and then took Randie to the hotel to meet the amazing staff there. After saying hello, we hit the road! Last night they gave Randie the carseat test one more time and she passed with flying colors! Of course this didn't stop Mandy from checking her every 10 minutes to make sure she was breathing on the way home! We got home and slowly settled down! It is so so nice to be home and start this amazing journey!
November 22--Well last night was our first night home! Rick and Donna came over with the dog and supper about 6:30. We were so excited to see Puma! We ate and Donna got to hold Randie for the first time!! It was a lot of fun to watch all the interactions! We laid Randie on the floor to let Puma get to know her and sure enough, Puma just wanted to lick her to death. She even jumped up while Kyle was feeding her last night and licked her hair! Puma, however, didn't quite know what to think when Randie would cry and Puma looked just as exhausted as we did this morning! Randie did well but she was up every 2-3 hours to sleep and was bright eyed most of the night. There was just too many new things to sleep! Things went well all day! She got to meet some wonderful people! Grandma Janice and Grandpa Darrel came up and brought soup! Grandma was so excited to get to see Randie and hold her as well! We had a great afternoon spent with them. Barb stopped over at lunch and got to hold miss Randie as well! Later this afternoon Lori came up and got to hold her for the first time! Our good friends Amanda and Aaron Willey stopped over as well. Aaron had already been there once this morning when he came over and got us all set up on oxygen for the house. We have a big tank in the living room with a longer hose which has been really nice instead of having to pick up the little bottle and take it everywhere with us. They have a little one due in February so it was fun to know that we would have little ones so close in age! And she loved Aaron. She seriously snuggled with him for almost an hour. It was a great evening spent with some great people! We have been taking pictures and we try and get those uploaded later today or tomorrow! It has been quite busy getting our house put together and laundry done!! We are so so happy to be home! We appreciate everything from everyone so much!! Love to you all!!
