Vampires

I never ended up updating again yesterday because Kyle never had another blood draw until this morning at 6AM. I was thinking they'd check his numbers again yesterday around noon and then again at 6PM but I guess once they see the numbers dropping they leave him alone and let the lights do the work. That's fine by me. Those phlebotomists are Vampires!

Good news though. Kyle's stay under the lights is over and we came home before lunch today. His final blood draw this morning was 213 and Dr. DiGravio came in shortly after 9AM giving Kyle the all-clear to head home. The only follow-up instructions we have are to have the midwife see him tomorrow or Friday (he's heading in to see Nicole at 1:30 tomorrow) and to give him his daily dose of vitamin D. I had forgotten to bring it to the hospital and some of the nurses made me feel like the worst mother for forgetting it. Whatever, I can't let that bother me.

Once I get some of the hospital photos uploaded I'll be sure to post them. I'm exhausted (as is Craig, who's currently snoring on the couch) so we're heading to bed. What a whirlwind couple of days! It feels like time sort of stopped while I was in the hospital and it took a few reminders today to finally accept that it's indeed Wednesday and not Monday. It sure felt like the weekend never really ended.

Not for long though. Craig's back at work on Sunday. I can't wait to get some normalcy back in our lives! Ahhh, schedules. I love 'em!
