On Thursday (Oct. 29th) Emma’s last top tooth came in.  On Friday, Oct. 30th, her last bottom tooth came in.  So she has all her teeth.  Of course, what was supposed to be the first teeth, were actually the last teeth to come in.  Again, Emma did it her own way!  On Friday, Robin said that Emma may be able to go home before Sunday.  It didn’t happen on Friday, but was told that Emma could go home on Saturday.  Robin had signed paperwork so that I could take her home.  Well, when I got to the hospital, Emma was fussing and felt warm.  So I had the nurse take her temperature – which was 101.  So that gave us the impression that she wouldn’t be going home on Saturday.  Well, they did blood tests, urine tests and chest x-rays to see what they could find.  Nothing showed up, so when the doctor came in around 11:00 and her temp was back down, he said she could still go home.  So that started the paperwork process.  We had some issues getting the correct medication to go home, but that was finally resolved.  Then it was time to disconnect the IV from her port.  The nurse asked if Mom or Dad were available to come and take a look at it.  Robin had just gotten off work, so she went and picked up Michelle and John and they all came to the hospital.  Emma was all smiles and cuddled with everyone.  They all got to see what Emma’s port looked like.  Of course, you can’t see anything except the bump on her chest where it is.  It is one that doesn’t take a lot of work to maintain.  So that is good.  The main thing is not to get hit where the port is.  So by 4:30 we all left the hospital and took Emma home.  She was just happy to be laid on the floor and able to move where she wanted to.  Sunday Emma slept most of the day and had a few issues with feeding, but they all have passed.  Emma had an appointment with the pediatrician this morning and everything is fine.  Emma weighs 22 lbs. 8 oz.  So she is gaining back what she had lost in the hospital.  So hopefully we are on the right track again.  Thanks for all the words of encouragement and your prayers.
Love to all, Grandma Carol
