The Beginning of Many

Mom gets to go home today. Good and bad news all wound into one. Good in that it means that she is doing well in her recovery, bad in that it will take her a half hour from our girls. It would have been so nice to have been at Plano Presby. Mom could have put on her walking shoes and exercised her way up to see the kiddos. Now we have to strategically plan out the times we can come up and see the kids. Tough, but doable!

Brooke has her PICC Line and they have tried a few times to get one in Allie but she has her father's veins-way too small. I would be a horrible heroin addict. Allie was all rapped up like a baby burrito at this mornings touch-time so we let her sleep. Brooke was wiggling all around and upset that she is 1/2 naked and people stare at her all day.

Touch time is the time that parents, nurses, Dr.'s, respiratory therapist try to get all their work on. That will be 8am, 12pm, and 4pm each day. All the other times in the day, they let them sleep and grow. So over the next 8 weeks Mom will get to hold her daughters a ton! I will not as much. Man, I need to win the lottery So I can be with my kids!
