Discharge Plans are in motion!!!!!

Everything has continued to go well with Teryn;s new feeding tube. She is up to full feeds and is tolerating it well. The staff has begun teryn's discharge plans so we should be home some time THIS WEEK!!!!! We are so ready. She is 97 days old today. Maybe we can celebrate her 100th day at home.
The social worker here is working hard to get Teryn's transportation plans worked out. It looks like MCH will be able to fly her home but will have to take her to the hospital and then she will be discharged officially from there. Still waiting on all of the details but the most important thing is that we are going home.

James got here Friday not long after Teryn's surgery. She was still so sleepy from all of the medicine and was completely oblivious to all that was going on. When James got to the hospital we went to her bed and stood on either side. James said something and Teryn jumped awake, wide-eyed and looked at her Daddy and started cooing. It was the most precious thing. It was as if she had been waiting on him and was so excited when she heard his voice. Everyone else had been talking by her bed all day and she didn't react at all. Wish I had the video camera ready.

We will need to take "germ" precautions for a while until Teryn is fully adjusted and has all of her vaccinations. We will be avoiding crowded/public places for a while. It will also be a while before anyone under the age of 12 will be able to visit. We are going to have gallons of antibacterial on hand. A very small price to pay to have our girl home.

We will let everyone know for sure when we have the exact day. We love and miss everyone and can't wait to be home.

  1. What precious pictures and what wonderful news!!! I am so happy to hear she is on her way home soon!

    And I know and understand how hard it is to keep your baby away from public places but let me tell you it's 100% worth it. Don't be afraid to ask anyone who enters your home to wash their hands or use sanitizer and if they are sick don't be afraid to ask them to visit at another time.

    This is so wonderful! I am so excited for you to have your little girl home!!!
