Yesterday was a big emotional day for us all. After NICU staff rounds yesterday, Hayden was taken off all monitors and issued a discharge. Scott spent the morning checking out of the Ronald McDonald house and worked hard cleaning. The Neonatologist said that our stay was short (I don't want to think about what a long stay is) and that Hayden had recovered faster than any baby with meylo spina bifida in his memory. Praise God for answers to prayers! Hayden had the best surgeons and nurses. When we got home Hanna was sleeping taking her nap. When she woke, we recorded her reaction to introducing her to her baby brother. The video is priceless. She has been so sweet and excited.
Hayden did great his first night at home. This was also the first night that we spent with him. He ate at 1 and slept till 6am. What a good baby. He has transitioned without any problem.
