Kathryn was discharged today, and looking better than ever. The normal birthing bruising is almost gone, her sores are going away, and everybody I give a dollar to tells me how beautiful she is. She has a dozen doctor appointments scheduled for the next week, but most of it is just routine stuff that everyone has to do with newborns. We had a great visit with some family from SoCal this morning, and an extremely upset ride home. Ten seconds in the car and she was screaming so loud she couldn't breathe. It's nice to be home now and hear her crying upstairs while I drink Mt. Dew and watch TV. She's quieter when she's so far away. I'm sure it's Robyn's turn to change the diaper anyway, but I think I miss the NICU already. There's no stopping for the Schlichters though; we have 20 minutes to rest, our next visitor will be here, and then we'll swing by the bank for more dollar bills and we'll be off to bible study.
Thank you for the prayers, everyone. It'll be 10 – 21 days before we hear any results from the chromosome tests which will, hopefully, definitively identify which syndrome she has. In the mean time I expect things to be pretty quiet around here, except for that very angry scream in the background.
Where did that remote sneak off to…?
