I had to get a Star Wars reference in! Ok, it doesn't fit well. When little sleep you have, see how creative you can be!
Doctor says Chrissy will be released tomorrow. She's sore but nurses and doctors say all looking good.
Kaitlyn is keeping her own temp, its fluctuating a bit but they're letting her fend for herself. She's out of the french fry machine and in a little plastic bucket bed. Looks like fancy tupperware if you ask me! I bet they put lids on to conserve baby freshness! They have enough oxygen and gases to keep her minty fresh!
Feedings are going well, she should be off the IV soon. They're cutting back on the IV as she starts feeding more. After what the NICU nurses told me (They ROCK!) she's probably darn close to leaving now. I was also told they may not move her to the nursery, but just release her straight home when she's ready.
All in all, family's doing great. Like I've told some of our friends that have been calling or text messaging, The NICU doesn't bother me since I have the healthiest and biggest baby there. It kind of puts things in perspective when you hear the baby next over has no spleen and the reason your kid is there is because she may have inhaled poo. The nurses are all loving her and her screams, so who am I to take that away from them? ;o)
