Home!

Late last night Claire's numbers all looked great and we were able to take her off of all of her supplemental nutrition and to remove her PICC line very much ahead of schedule. She did great with feedings through the night, with keeping up her blood sugar and weight, and she's stooling well so they decided to let us come HOME today! I still can't believe it, it all happened so fast.  They had estimated 2-3 weeks for her recovery (because of the additional complications with her heart and Down syndrome), but she set the pace, and we're home just 5 days post-surgery (10 days in the NICU). They keep telling us that Claire is remarkable but we knew that already <3. We are still adjusting to our "new" ways of doing things but she is thriving and we are so, so happy! We do have lots and lots of follow up appointments in order to make sure that she continues to do well but we'll take it.

The kids were more than thrilled to have her home and they can hardly leave her alone. Anna hasn't stopped hugging and kissing her since we got here and Levi has made himself the "quiet police." So much love!

FIVE of us headed home!

Neighborhood welcoming committee!

Home at last!
