When we went for our daily visit at 8a Friday morning, the nurses and doctors were sure that Annellice would be released that day. We didn't want them getting our hopes up again just to be let down for a third day in a row. Besides, I was heading to Lake Anna for a couple of races and Gwynne was off to Fairfax to look after her parents; her dad just had thyroid surgery.
Around mid-day the call came in that Annellice was ready to go...plans changed for Gwynne. She packed a few bags and headed off to the hospital to pick up Annellice. Knowing how excited I would be to see the baby outside of the hospital she headed up to Lake Anna to stay with me. That's right, one month old and one minute released from the hospital and Annellice is off to her first vacation/race/job site. It was great!
While at the hospital on Friday the doctor, only partially kidding we think, asked Gwynne how she would like to take two babies home? While we weren't prepared for both to be released, it was a nice way of him saying "I think she is close to being released...get ready for the double bubble..." The doctor did indicate that it would likely be early this week when Alexandra is released because she has been progressing steadily and will likely flourish once at home.
Through all of the excitement of not having to see the hospital again for a while, hopefully, we've heard the "she will be released" rumor before. We'll see what happens here over the next couple of days.
