YAY! We're Home!

Just wanted to let everyone know that we are home! When the nurse told Olivia she could go home, we saw the first smile we had seen since Sunday morning. I sure missed that all week! The antibiotic was the only additional medication they sent Olivia home on. The doctors want us to continue feeding her as usual, but also give her a couple of ounces of pedialyte each day until she's over this rotavirus so she doesn't get dehydrated. Olivia usually loves her baths. We decided to give her one when we got home because she really stunk. Let's just say she wasn't a fan of bath time tonight! She was in bed sleeping by 9:30 which is a huge improvement from the last time we brought her home from the hospital. That time we had a few nights of midnight or later before we got her back in her routine. I think the rotavirus is still making her feel yucky though so that's probably why she went to sleep by a decent time. We didn't get to see the neurosurgeon today because they got called in to a couple of emergency surgeries, so we'll have to follow up with them out-patient within the next couple of weeks. I will try to post some pictures of the little cutie some time soon.
