Home at Last!!!

This week has been such a blur! Camden was discharged from Children's Hospital Tuesday afternoon, around 2pm. His eyes were the size of quarters after getting into the car, if I only knew what he was thinking! He slept most of the 4 hour ride north, and Maddie, Alice and Steve were waiting for us when we came in the door. Steve made a huge welcome home sign for Camden, it is still located at the end of the driveway. We unloaded a very full car, and left everything where we dropped it. Camden slept much of his first night home. I was awake most of the night, listening to the monitor, and trying not to forget to get up to give him his medications. The nurse from Apria, where we get his supplies, and a home health nurse visited us the first night to make sure we were getting settled in ok.
Wednesday we met with the home health nurse and tried to get a plan of care started, which turned out to be more difficult than we thought. She did not receive needed paperwork from the hospital, and had to make multiple calls.
Maddie is slowly adjusting to everything too. She has been very fussy and whinny, and if either Andy or I tell her anything she immediately starts to cry. She can be a tad dramatic when she wants. This hopefully will improve. Camden slept all of Wednesday night, barely waking for diaper changes. I even slept more too, but am still exhausted. Getting up even for half an hour during the night every few hours takes its toll.
Thursday we had Camden's first pediatrician appointment. Dr. Ross was so excited to finally meet the little man! He is really looking forward to caring for him! Camden had his first round of vaccines, and Maddie even got her flu shot too. We then drove over to Parkside so we could talk to them about Maddie starting daycare again. Luckily, they have a full time opening in her new classroom, and she starts on Monday!! Chuck and Mimi visited for a while too.
Today, my mom came over and had Grammie time with the kids so Andy and I could finally start organizing the kid's room, and all of Camden's supplies! He has a lot!! Shirley came over and took Maddie to the mall for a break from all the happenings here at the house. Andy and I made some good progress organizing the upstairs, thanks to all who helped.
Camden even took a 5 hour nap this afternoon, we will see how he sleeps tonight.
