Home

Calina was SO happy to get unhooked from those monitors & IV's... she didn't have a single fussy moment after they freed her.


She slept in the car all the way home, and is just happily sitting in her swing, sucking her hand, and listening to daddy play video games (yes, already).

Auntie Jess met us at the door, and gave Calina a little love. Gramma went to the store to get some food for us for the night.

We have a little bit of a regimen: 3 times a day, I have to clean her incisions with betadyne, and then cover them with antibiotic ointment. (Thankfully we only have to keep up with that for 3 days or so.) Once a day, I have to wash her head with a special disinfecting shampoo. We have an appointment with the surgeons in about 2 weeks (July 2), so they can check to see that everything looks as it should. About a week after that, we'll probably have her first helmet.

Mostly, we're just glad to be home. We made it out of that room, out of that hospital, with our baby girl intact and happy. I know things could change at the drop of a hat, but right now, she seems so content.
