Rick and I spent along time waiting to go home, we were just enjoying our baby.
Rick talking to Hannah
Now I'm talking to Hannah and totally enjoying her. In the background is her feeding pump.
Car seat test!
Bundled up for her car seat test. She had to be in the car seat for 1 hour without any alarms going off because she stopped breathing or her heart rate slows,
She passed the car seat test 2 times!
Hannah's weight: 4lbs 1oz
Hannah's nurse: Am: CeCe, Pm: Sandra (only a couple hours)
The Long Day Waiting!
The plan was to go home today! Yeah! We were so excited for the thought to go home. We were have trouble having patience!
In the middle of the night, Hannah's nurse decided to have Hannah try her car seat test. She needed to pass the car seat test without setting off any alarms. This will show the doctors she can handle a car ride for at least an hour. She had to sit in her car seat for a hour all hooked up to the breathing and heart monitors. I the middle of the night I woke up to pump and hold Hannah only to find her in the middle of her car seat test and I could not pick her up. I was sad but I was happy she was doing so good with her test.
In the morning the nurse decided to see if the straps can tighten up more as she was looking at Hannah's car seat she noticed her car seat was expired! (I really had no idea that it could have been expired, it was the car seat thatTerri Lynn used a few years ago). She then told us that could not take Hannah home unless we got a current car seat. We got worried! The kids were not going to be coming up to see Hannah today because we were going home. We thought of Rick's mom Gertie. We called her right away to see if she could stop by a store and buy a car seat for sweet Hannah. Thankful for Grandma today!
So since we got a new car seat, we were told Hannah had to pass another car seat test in her new car seat. So Rick and I sat together with Hannah in her new car seat watching her sleep waiting for the car seat test to be done so we could hold her. (an hour can be so long sometimes).
We also had to wait really long for the Walgreen's lady to bring us Hannah's feeding pump for at home and show us how to use it. We were struggling once again with patience. The lady finally showed up at around 4:00pm. Then what I thought would be a quick show us the pump ended up being at least an hour or so. It was a long time! Once she left our nurse got us all ready to go home. I am finishing up this day on the next post see We are Going Home Day 8, part 2.
James 1:2-4
My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.
In Christ, Sandi Kwant (Hannah's mommy)
