A long list of updates (old and over due)

9/05/09 Saturday Morning the nursery nurse came in and said that Daniel had an episode of not breathing. She said they put him on a monitor for an hour and he didn't do it again. Around 4 o'clock pm my mom was visiting and I didn't feel good. I was shivering so much and I didn't know why, the air was on 73 and everyone else thought it felt good. My nurse gave me my medication and took my temperature. (100.8) I was so tired that I told my mom I wanted to take a nap and asked her if she would feed the boys. She fed both boys and Daniel ate the most he ever has, almost 2 fl oz. They took both boys back to the nursery. My nurse came back in 1 hr later and took my temp again and it was 102.4. They called Dr. Hahn and he ordered some tests and put me on a broad range of antibiotics. My fever finally broke, so I decided to walk to the nursery to give a supply of milk to the nurses and only Chris was there, they had taken Daniel to NICU North. I really didn't know what was going on.

9/06/09 Sunday morning the pediatrician came in and said that Chris had an episode of not breathing so they moved him down with Daniel. We still really didn't know what was going on. I was feeling better until 3:30 in the afternoon when I got another fever. That but me back another day from going home.

Monday 9/07/09 Chris was doing a lot better and I was told he will be able to come home when I came home, but Daniel still needed to stay.

Tuesday9/8/09 Chris and I came home to the rest of our family. I was crying when I leaving Daniel at the hospital and I was crying when I got home to see Matthew and Michael.

Wednesday 9/9/09 was a good day. Tim was home all day and then he had to go to school. Jane made a quick dinner and took care of me and 3 boys at home. After putting the older boys to bed we were talking about how Daniel had no visitors today and then I had a melt down. She got on her phone and called Ken. He and Jackie came right over to babysit and Jane took me to the hospital. Thank you so much, it made my night. What would I ever do without my family? Daniel was off of the oxygen and feeding tube and he was drinking from a bottle.

Thursday 9/10/09 was a good day to, my mom came over later in the night and watch the 3 boys so Tim and I could go feed Daniel at the hospital. Well they let him drink what he wanted so it got his feedings off schedule. No big deal we still got to hold are little prince. I asked the nurse when she thought he would get to go home and she said not to quote her but Saturday or Sunday.

Friday 9/11/09- All 3 boys were sleeping so Tim and I decided to take a nap too. Well in the middle of our nap we got a phone call from St. John's NICU. They asked if we were ready to add another little one to the mix. Daniel was ready to come home. I started crying and made a ton of phone calls. Our family was going to be complete.

I'm happy that everyone is home and doing well. I know it's probably a little crazy and you are still trying to get down a schedule but you are all together so that's wonderful. Hope to see you all soon!
