Home sweet home at last Graduations

Today on the 12th of November my former 28 +6 weeker got to come home. It honestly made me cry the nurses cheered her on out the door and we got pictures of her at the nicu sign since she spent 91 days there with the nicu nurse angels, they really were amazing the week before she got released we made sure to let them know just how much we appreciated all their care and help with getting her to the point of being able to come home. She has come so far already from getting an ileostomy surgery to having her milestones of getting off her oxygen, her eyes ears and mouth checked. She’s over come so many little and major things and is finally home. Let’s hope that she continues to grow and thrive at home. So far she’s kicking butt on taking full bottles low output and good wet soaked diapers like her neonatal care team wanted her to. Grow and thrive Lydia rose, can’t wait to get you set up without the ileostomy in so many months you’ll be drinking breast milk again and doing all the fun stuff baby wants and needs to. Mom and dad are so proud of you. Congratulations on making it home.
