Scarlette is 5 months old today. We made cupcakes for the nurses to celebrate her "birthday." We also just love any excuse for cupcakes.
Speaking of cupcakes, my friend Jody sent me this today and it was the proverbial icing on the them: After I read your last post, I announced to my kids that baby Scarlette is going to get to go home finally. Ava then said "you mean she never left the hospital yet…ever?" "No, she's been there since the day she got born- several months ago," I replied. Then without missing a beat Bella's face lit up and she said in an excited voice, "Oh! She's just like Rapunzel then-she never got to leave her castle!"
We started our discharge paperwork today and all we know so far is that we can expect to be bringing her home by Wednesday. There is much to get in order as she has a LOT (um, oh.my.goodness.) of medical needs to be met with home care (more on that later) and we have to do our overnight stay at the hospital so we're waiting to get those dates.
So stay tuned. Because Scarlette is about to leave the castle.
