Well, we really thought we would have been home by now but Collins and Claire have other plans. I have tried to communicate to them how wonderful their home is and how much they are going to love their room. It seems to go in one ear and out the other...the beginnings of parenthood! We are very anxious to go home but we know God is good and he is keeping them here a little longer to ensure they are fully ready to journey off into the world.
It has been an eventful week! Mom was sick all last week with a uterine infection from the c-section that kept her away for a few days. Claire has averaged at least one brady a day during sleep and/or feeding times. Collins had a good week...sleep brady free. Friday, Clint and the kids were on Channel 11 News for a Health Watch on RSV. They were so darn cute!
Yesterday morning, Collins was discharged to go home due to going seven days without a sleep brady. We decided to stay until the evening with Claire. About 3:30 in the afternoon, Collins surprised us with a sleep brady that awarded him five more days in the hospital. I must say we were somewhat relieved since Claire was not going to join us at home. We were also thankful we did not take him home that morning.
As of right now, 9:30pm Wedneday night, Claire had her last brady Monday night at 9:45pm and Collins yesterday at 3:30pm. We pray that those are the last ones and they will be coming home Sunday. It's pretty scary to think about them coming home when they have had so many. The doctors reassure us that they will wake up one morning and be done with them. We pray today is the day!
Please continue to pray for our family.
