Wednesday evening

Wow, so it's been a few days since I posted... We mostly hung out over the weekend, just working on eating and drinking and feeling like there is such little progress, but it's just day to day. Hopefully week to week (or shoot, even month to month) there will be more notable progress. We were planning on getting discharged Monday to RMH, but there was some sort of miscommunication or something, and the ball got dropped along the way. So, after one more night at the hospital, Emma Kate was finally discharged Tuesday around lunchtime! We've been thoroughly instructed on how to set up and run her TPN, and shortly after we hooked her up on Tuesday, I started feeling yucky. A couple hours later, I was on the floor of the bathroom... Not fun. The really bad news is that a couple hours after I started, Emma Kate started waking up crying and would throw up shortly after. She and I must have picked up the same virus or something. We were both pretty miserable through the night, and poor Daddy and Uncle Chris had to take care of us. Needless to say, no one got much sleep... except Gretta I think! Emma Kate woke up around 6 and was ready to go to the playroom, I on the other hand felt like I'd been hit by a truck. It's taken me most of the day to get some energy back, and neither one of us has eaten much yet. We're just hoping and praying that no one else gets this, and that it's going to be a quiet, easy night for all! This will officially be Emma Kate's first night in a quiet, dark room, uninterrupted by people coming and going, monitors going off for no reason, and people messing with her while she is trying to sleep... and hopefully no throwing up!

Emma Kate got a dressing change on her PICC line this afternoon and she sat so nice and still for it, even though she was very upset and crying about the tape being pulled off. It just seems so painful! She's such a good girl. Gretta has been getting all kinds of attention from people as we walk around the house, she smiles a lot and just seems so interested in everything! She is holding her head up independently and is so strong with her tummy time! Hope to be posting some pictures soon!
