Home, sweet home.


After 3 1/2 days, Deb came home from the hospital about noon today. The ultrasound this morning showed a very healthy baby estimated to be about 5 pounds, and which the technician referred to as a "wiggle worm."

Since the baby appears to be very healthy, Deb is continuing on one of the three drugs which were used to slow down contractions while in the hospital. This one is called Procardia - a drug mainly for heart issues, but can also be used for this with few side effects, and happens to be hard to find (our local pharmacist didn't have it, and the hospital pharmacist didn't have enough for the full prescription).

Tomorrow morning will be a special doppler ultrasound screening that will look at some specific things about the baby's blood flow - one of the best ways to watch for rh disease issues.

At this point we're taking everything one day at a time. A big thanks to all our friends and family for their prayers, and Grandma for helping out with Isaac and Noah these days.
