Olivia has done great today, she was eating much better, and wanted to "GO HOME". They removed her epidural and catheter. She has to be able to eat, manage her pain, and pee on her own in order to get released. (of course her blood pressure and oxygen saturation also have to be in line)
So we met all those Benchmarks by evening. So we headed home. She was so excited to go home as she kept saying she missed Bennett and Bailey (her siblings). They are so sweet to her and gentle and will sit there and fetch her toys, give her snacks. They are amazingly patient with her considering they are only 3 years old. What amazing me the most is that we are so focused on Olivia with all her needs, and I stay with her 24 hours why she is in the hospital, they never act jealous towards her. Maybe it is being twins, they are used to sharing and being a team... or maybe I just have the sweetest kids ever... :)
Olivia slept awesome her first night home, in fact she slept from 2:00am to 9:00am without evening waking up for pain meds. I actually freaked out a little when I realized she hadn't woke up, I thought I missed her calling me... LOL I thin not having nurses wake you up constantly and just the security of being home.
