Welcome Home!!!

Actually, Paige has been home since Monday night--we've been slow to update the blog due to some extreme crankiness on Paige's part, and sleep deprivation on ours! But it's definitely been worth it to have her here with us! God has certainly blessed us with a miracle baby.

When we called to check in Monday morning, we were told to stay home until Meg, Paige's nurse, called us back. She knew that the neonatologists were planning to write discharge orders, so she advised us to do anything we needed to get done around the house (or just take a nap), because we would definitely be bringing a baby home later, as long as her labs were okay...and they were great! By some miracle, her platelets that had been on a slow drop over the 3 previous days were now back up to a very good level. The neonate team consulted a pediatric hematologist (blood specialist), Dr. Dickens, who we will see on Friday. Then all three of us will have our blood drawn on Monday, as a follow-up for Paige and also to finish checking for NAIT.

Another blessing this week has been the delivery of some very delicious meals from our church family at Trinity UMC, as well as from friends and family. Paige thanks you for keeping her parents well-fed!

Here are some of Paige's last pics in the hospital, and first pics at home!
