Day fourteen in NICU




Today Lillian is two weeks old! John and I arrived to the hospital at 10:00 am to take our little Lillian home. We were given all kinds of discharge paperwork and had to sign lots of hospital stuff. Once that was all over with many of the staff were coming up to John and I giving us hugs, for them they were all sad to see us leave. Apparently when it was time for Lillian to have a bottle at 8 in the morning lots of nurses and aides were arguing about who got to feed her, the nurse practitionar went into the room and said "i'll settle this, I will feed her." The staff asked us to send updated pictures of her and to bring her up from time to time. The NICU staff has been the best medical personal I have ever come into contact with, they are all so caring and so organized.


The ride home I sat in the back with Lillian and I was nervous the entire ride home! We suprised the kids and grandma and grandpa by just showing up at their house with the baby. Everyone was so excited.
