Ready to go home

Well my Daddy and Little Man trucked on down here to come pick us up today when the cardio on duty delivered the bad news. Sweet Pea’s trough levels in her blood were undetectable so they had to up her dose. We are going from 5mg to 7mg and they are going to do a redraw tonight so maybe we'll get to go home tomorrow. I sure hope so, I'm ready to take my baby home already and enjoy her like normal families do! At least they are being very careful and I'm greatful that they are over cautious. The whole point to keep us this long is to make sure there is enough drug in her system to keep us out of the hospital in the long run so for that I'm greatful, I'm just tired of being stuck here. :(

Okay the nurse just came to give some more bad news. Her IV access wiggled it's way out this morning so we took it out and took her off the monitors since she was going to come home. Well since we are staying and don't need high level monitoring they are going to move us to a regular ped room/floor. The bad part is that they want her to have iv access down there just in case. She has such a horrible time getting an IV and it requires at least 5 pokes no exaggeration, my poor baby! The nurse is going to try to negotiate either keeping us in this room so we can avoid the IV or going to a regular room without the IV, we'll see.
Nope, she just came back, they do need IV access. Maybe I'm being a coward but I'm going to duck out for this one, I can't watch my baby go through that again!

Hopefully we get to come home tomorrow, I just want to take my baby home!
