The life and times of a premature baby.

A busy week

With the prospect of the wee one coming home, we had some work to do.

The cradle was still in our room, but had been afflicted with "Horizontal Surface Syndrome" and filled with three years worth of crap. This needed to be emptied and to have a leg reglued.

The baby swing was in the basement needing repairs. We had loaned it out, and when it came back, I put it in our garage. Then one cold winter's day, I knocked it over and the brittle plastic brackets broke. Though we won't be using the baby swing for a while, SWMBO informed me it needed to be fixed before she came home. And so it came to pass.

Then, there were prescriptions to fill, appointments to be made, and a big batch of goodies for the NICU staff to acquire...

She's been in the NICU for just under three months, with cardiac, respiration and SP02 monitors and 24-hour care, and now she's coming home with just us to watch over her? Terrifying!
