D Day!
Yes folks, the event has happened, Ellie is home.
Here's Ellie prepping for the journey home.
Ellie was very happy to go home.
Phyllis was her nurse that day. She said that she'd have worked no matter what, there was no way that she was going to miss this day.
Jocelyn also was there, she's been another of Ellie's primary nurses.
As we were walking out the door with Ellie, all of these nurses and attendants came out of the woodwork and started cooing at Ellie and congratulating us. I videoed the whole thing, so watch for that coming soon.
This is our go home pic. If you stop by the NICU at Primary Childrens, you should see this posted on their wall.
Phylis had to carry her out of the hospital.
Here she is in her car seat. Phylis was trying to pack up everything for us. Gave us extra diapers, formula, even the bug that Ellie likes so much. She said she couldnt sanitize the bug, so we might as well keep it.
There were tears leaving, everyone cried.
At Wendy's, picking up the boys, we were greeted with a surprise.
The boys were elated, they had a hard time not smothering their new baby sister.
Once we were home, the cerimonial removal of the wrist band.
Ellie was pretty tuckered out after all that, she slept through the night without waking up. No fuss from that kid.
More to come... Saturday was NOT so uneventful.

HOORAY! We congratulate you and wish you all the best!
Love,
the Sullivans
A belated Happy Discharge Day !! Oops, did I say the "D" word ? Sorry... We are all very Happy for all of you. I'll bet Ellie finds home a strange place, being in the hospital all this time. Surrounded by sibblings and "different" walls, no nurses and helpers, or electronic gear. Could be strange for a little while. How is she adjusting? Love Lee, Joyce and Joel.
