Monday Update


Grandma Vedra holds Ellie for the first time

"Rooming In" went great last night! It was exciting to all be in one room together for 12 hours, and we feel even more confident that we will be able to perform Ellie's care by ourselves. We basically set an alarm for every three hous, awoke, and suctioned her and fed her. We tried out our home equipment, and that seemed to work quite well.

We have been really busy today trying to tie up loose ends. We have been talking to doctors and therapists to make sure we know everything we will need to know for our transition home. Tomorrow we will have people stopping by the house for us to sign paperwork, learn equipment, and get the home care started.

And then Wednesday will be here!
