D-day

"D" as in "discharge.
Parker is coming home in a few hours!
Emery was to join him, but a few bradycardic episodes in the last 24 hours means she will be in for another 4-5 days and will most likely be receiving another blood transfusion. The nurses think Emery is just a nurturing sister and doesn't want to leave Isaac alone at the hospital. You know, the whole "Leave no man behind..." thing :-)

Isaac has made remarkable (and I do mean remarkable!) progress over the last week and is now on the lowest possible oxygen setting known to man (0.1 liter). He is eating well and should be ready to come home in the next week (with or without oxygen). The nurses at the last NICU promised us he would most likely catch up to his brother and sister quickly... but I wasn't expecting this. What a champ!

Now anyone who knows me well can only imagine my last week. I have been shopping like a mad woman... not only for baby stuff (although that is clearly the most FUN shopping), but also food, household stuffs, etc. I have no delusions that I will be getting anything done besides taking care of Parker and visiting with Emery and Isaac. We have been putting together cribs, decorating the nursery (thanks Jen!) and doing more loads of laundry a day than I would like to admit. Oh, and lets just say we have been filling the garbage cans...
