124 days later

So after 124 days at the hospital, the day finally came for me to meet my sister Allison. That's right, Chrissy and Eddie brought her home on Saturday May 5th. and here was the introduction...

Of course there were some pictures of her trip leaving the hospital but most importantly the doctors feel she is doing pretty good. She did have to come home with her feeding tube and Eddie and Chrissy had to learn how to insert and remove that as well as supplement her feeds with it. Also had to learn to mix and administer her different medications but they were more than willing to learn to bring her home. They are spending this week just getting back into a normal routine (as a friend pointed out, only they would consider bringing their first newborn home to be getting a normal routine but trust me when I say it will be)

It's Allison's Birthday...sort of

So I know the post is a little late but its been a busy week for Eddie and Chrissy. May 2nd was Allison's four month birthday and my how she has grown since. Four months ago she was 1 lb 10 oz. Today she is 7 lbs 10 oz. Basically newborn size but what a vast improvement. She has been doing really well with regards to her feedings and the blood infection seems completely cleared up. They have taken out her PICC line, stopped the anti biotics and are overall very happy with her progress. I hope to have even more good news in the next few days for what her future holds...
