Good day!

Home at last for the first time in 22 days! Libby was discharged today around 6 pm. It was hard saying goodnight to Rooney and Ender, knowing we would not be a floor away, but a few miles instead. We had a good last day at the hospital getting everything in order.

Rooney's blood test this morning showed a drop in bilirubin enough to take her off the blue light. She is currently being fed breast milk via feeding tube which will continue until she learns to suck properly. She gained one gram today which is really good.

Ender is still under the blue light, but it was reduced to low intensity. Hopefully he will be off it tomorrow. He is also being fed via feeding tube until suckage. He has a rash on his foot that the doctors are currently treating with ointment, which is being monitored. We enjoyed being able to change his diaper and take his temperature today. He is a stinker, he peed on Libby's hand! Ender really seems to enjoy sunbathing in this little towel tub under the blue light. We miss seeing his face but he seems content to laze around in his stunner shades:



Rooney had a big day! Due to being off the blue light and having stable vitals (Ender is also stable), Libby was able to do some skin to skin this afternoon. We have been enjoying seeing her face, mask free. We also got to take her temp, wash her eyes and mouth, and change her poopy diaper! It is really nice to be able to touch our kids!
