Speed Bump on the Way Home


If I had shiny red slippers I'd be clicking my heels on the regular. To say we want to go home is an understatement. We are dreaming of our bed, our coffee, our clothes swishing around in our laundry room, our little family curled on the couch together. No beeping in the distance or rapid response calls on the loud speaker. No more shared refrigerators or ID badges.


First smile of the day 


But alas today may not be the day. Oliver woke up this morning with more vomiting and slept until 12:30. He got a dose of Zofran that has helped him keep down another feeding of pedialyte (which we are doing more slowly to make sure he tolerates it). If he continues feeling better then we have to get up to goal feeds, which is 240 mls of pediasure peptide per hour before we can leave (+ no vomiting and ability to tolerate eating foods by mouth). There is still a teeny tiny chance we could get that done today and get out of here. Patience is truly a virtue.
