Yesterday Adah spent the afternoon in the NICU on a room air trial and we had to make some decisions about whether to try to continue the roon air trial overnight (resulting in another day of hopsital copay and a "hotel stay" for mom and dad) or to go home on oxygen.
After lots of phone calls to insurance, talking to the dr, and making decisions we decided to go home on oxygen since the chances seemed rather high that this would be the end result even if we did stay another night due to Adah's age and would allow us to be home as a fsmilye.
We waited for the home oxygen to arrive and we packed up, elated to be going home. We walked out of the hospital with Adah just before shift change at 7pm.
The amazing grandma and gong gong hosted Naomi for one more night allowing us precious time to adjust.
We were able to get somewhat settled and unpacked last night and are now preparing to go to the dr this morning to check in.
Tony will be home on paternity leave until drill this weekend which is a blessing to help Kasia get settled and in some sort of a rhythm with two beautiful little girls to care for.
We have no idea how long home oxygen will last but it is worth it to keep Adah healthy.
We are so glad to be home in our own space where we know bonding and healing is optimal.
We will wait a few weeks before accepting visitors for Adahs health but please let us know if you are interested in visiting down the road.
Blessings to all.
