Going Home

What a great experience we had at the Prescott hospitol. The staff was really amazing. Unlike our first experience these nurses didn't expect Michaela to be text book. When she didn't feed on a consistent schedule they said, "oh don't worry, it will come. Her numbers are fine, just give her time to rest." They only came in once a night for pills and vitals. This really helped in our recovery. On Wed Michaela went from 5am to 3pm without eating. I was getting really concerned about this as well as mucus problems. We fianlly decided to get her stomach pumped. More commonly necessary with c-section babies. As soon as we did this she realized she was hungry because her stomach wasn't full of mucus and she ate like a champ. Thank you, Lord! She's done well ever since. We were able to leave Thurs morning and had our first dr apt today. 7lbs 5oz and growing. She's quite the sleeper for now and I'm thankful. It's good to be home but I'm needing the reminder to take it slow. Grandma and Daddy are doing a great job with Hurricane Charlie so I can rest a lot. We're just so thankful to be home and healthy. Thank you to all who have prayed us through this season in life. We're grateful.

Hurricane Charlie... I love that! Glad you're home. Take it easy now while you have your mom to help! I'll call you this week to see if we can work out a visit. :)

Congratulations, Tonya! It's still hard for me to wrap my mind around the idea of you being a mommy (of two, no doubt); but what a wonderful blessing and thought it is! Praying for you as God will use this role and this relationship to draw you more closer to Him!
