So, we are home!
The numbers today did the same mostly-hold-steady thing, which is fine. Zevi had plenty of energy and was caught up in the excitement of heading home. It took over two hours to pack up the room, get the meds (one and a half rather hefty bags), go over procedures, sign the discharge papers and leave. Zevi tooled around the ward on a tricycle and pulled his own (lightly loaded) cart out the door. He's ready for labor, right? The cart Zevi was pulling, by the way, was the 5th one. Substantial share of the other four carts was taken up by gifts, toys, and cards that everyone has sent. All of them are at home with us. Every one. Thank you everyone for your amazing support. It has meant more than we can express.
Special thank you goes out to Grandma Rita who helped us pack and, as soon as we got home, got to cooking for Zevi (and the rest of us too). Also, thank you to Grandpa Misha who has been invaluable entertaining the boys, whether one at a time of both at once. Today they had a wonderful hide-and-seek game.
The brothers were delighted to see each other. Zevi gave Benya a huge hug and they immediately went off to play together. Which was handy, too, as at the same time we were being visited by a wonderful nurse who was training us in setting up Zevi's night time feeding over the central line.
The night time routine was understandably hectic. At this point it is full 70 minutes past the usual-late bed time. The boys appear to be asleep and they gave me permission to go sleep only recently.
At this point we are going to have a sip of champagne and get some shut eye. Good night all and thank you for your support!
