Dad and Mom brought Lydia home today!
Monday, August 31, 2015 @ 12:00pm
We came straight inside, got her out of the car seat and walked around the house with her taking pictures and showing her all her things. She was looking every which way with amazement. Around 12:30pm the clinical supervisor, nurse scheduler, and nurse arrived. Oh, so did our official neighborhood nanny ;-) - thanks for coming to love on her Melisa!
After signing more paperwork, setting up machines and getting all the supplies tucked away, we remembered to eat lunch around 3:30pm. Mom and Dad went straight into G-tube and Trach care, followed by a full head to toe bath. Did you know they don't bathe these kiddos at the hospital? Just wipe 'em down with ready bath wipes.
Now it is 10:00pm and it was officially the quickest 10 hours ever. Thank you for feeding us, Eric & Katie! Thank you for the lovely flowers and balloons, John & Erin and Melisa & Glen.
And thank you to everyone for the texts, phone calls, emails, facebook messages, visits, food, drinks, gifts, hugs, tears and prayers today and along the way. We've been overwhelmed with love, support and generosity from the beginning. We're obviously not done yet, but we've been through a lot since April 10th when Lydia's heart defect was diagnosed in utero. Today was a very very very big step in the right direction.
And now you will get your fill of pictures from today. Love, Dan, Kinsley & Lydia
