all of a sudden five months later

well, it looks like Ford will be coming home in a few days!

can you believe it? i was a bit stunned when they said it could be this week - i think part of me thought we'd be here forever. but the constant gagging has subsided, its cause remaining unknown, and they're happy to send us home. yup, very soon we'll be bringing home our baby for the first time.

gulp.

we're very excited, of course. over the moon. but also worried about the transition and how we'll manage all his medical stuff. our kitchen is so tiny - where to set up Ford's little at home pharmacy? and all the feeding gear...

our team decided to go with GI's suggestion after all and keep Ford on continuous NJ feeds. today we're picking up our rental feeding pump, and tomorrow "special products" here at the hospital will be loading us up with a month's supply of feeding bags, needles, syringes et cetera so we can give him all his meds and injections at home.

in the meantime, we are trying to juggle one of us being with Ford while the other goes home to clean and set up. there's much work to do.

stay tuned.
