At last... after 17 days, we've been released from the Stanford Children's Hospital! Vita is still learning how to eat on her own again. So, she still has the feeding tube going through her nose into her tummy (and she'll probably need the feeding tube for a while). Generally, the hospital doesn't like to discharge people with a feeding tube, so we had to prove ourselves by being trained on how to insert and remove the feeding tube ourselves at home. Anyway, no pictures tonight because I'm exhausted. We still have a long road ahead of us with intense physical and occupational therapy, and lactation and neurological follow up as well. But we're past the worst of it, and we're well on the way to recovery. Deep sigh... THANK YOU SO MUCH - to everyone who called, wrote letters, came to visit from close or from far away, who brought food and treats for us and the hospital staff, gave books and music and toys to Vita, who sent nice emails or posted comments, and kept us in your thoughts. We were so overwhelmed by support. There's no need to continue to post daily updates, so I guess this will go back to being a regular old baby blog... that I will update randomly with normal baby activities (along with period recovery updates).
