If it wasn't for the snow storm, they would've had no problem sending him home today. Since he is here, safe and has no threat of losing power or heat, the cardiology team decided that discharging him Wednesday would be the safest option. Jeremy said it's really a blessing, because we were anticipation a much lengthier stay.. so Wednesday (god willing, wednesday) is really earlier than we thought to begin with.
So Jeremy, Evie and I drove in to drop me back to Jack and pick up Grandma.. which Evie was VERY happy about. Jack had a fantastic night and morning with his Grandrea! <3 She was up every 2 hours snuggling and feeding him.. he passed his carseat test and had his chest Xray. And she was there for him for everything. What an unimaginable comfort it was for me knowing he had a loving heart and eyes watching him and warm arms to snuggle him after his testing. I don't know how many times I can say it-- I really don't know what we would do without her. Mom, you are amazing. Your selflessness truly knows no bounds and I am so happy my babies will get to experience the same love we do everyday.
So I'm all unpacked and Jack and I are bunkering down and settling in for snowmaggedon 2015.
Cardiologists said they are going to start him on a medication tonite. They think some of his weight gain is due to fluid starting to collect in his lungs. The medication will make him pee it out and it's something we will continue to give him twice a day at home.
That's it for now. Thinking I may have to venture out for real food tonite, god knows what I will be able to get tomorrow. I think this room just got a little bit smaller.... :( Thanks a lot, Juno.
This is how Jack feels about still being here...
...and here's Evie admiring herself in Jack's window. :)
