WE ARE HOME.....

So on the 25th day we were released!!!! Yeah!!! The doctors came in this morning and said they were either going to have to put us on the payroll or discharge us and thank goodness they decided on discharging. We were so excited. We got home about 3 pm and I have not stopped for one second since then. I wasn't the only one who enjoyed being home, Cooper seemed to be so content. He played and swung and just seemed to hang out. Tom and Jan stopped by to welcome us home and it was so good to see them. I feel like we have been away for a year!

Cooper is still having some problems keeping his food down and I am just hoping this will get better. I am more than overwhelmed with his feeding and medication regiment. We are either feeding him or giving him medication or doing both at 12am, 3am, 6am, 7am, 9am, 11am, 12pm, 1pm, 3pm, 6pm, 7pm, 9pm and 11pm. I was so stressed out figuring it all out I just sat down here on the computer and cried. I am going to call Dr. Kelley on Monday and try to meet with him as soon as possible to make sure that I have things spread out and timed the best way possible. Some of his meds cannot be given together and some cannot be given with his feeds. The feeds alone are crazy because they are every 3 hours but they are set to feed over a full hour. We ended up with a total of 10 meds. Anyway, I had no idea how impossible it would feel to make sure that Cooper gets what he needs. We also have the issue that at some of the times we give so many meds on a full stomach he throws up and then what? We don't know if he got the meds or if he just threw them up. Anyway, I am just hoping I can keep my mind through tomorrow and then hopefully will be able to see Dr. Kelley for some help. We have already had to put Cooper's feeding tube back in after once of the times he got sick. Of course this is just the tip of the ice berg too. I already have a list a mile long of things that need done. This is exactly what I told myself I was not going to do. I am trying to take a deep breath and convince myself that not every single thing needs done by Monday but I hate having things incomplete. O.C.D....I know!!!

Raelynn comes home tomorrow and does not know we are home. She will be so surprised and I am so excited to see her. This is sure to be one of the best Father's Day Terry will every have!
