We have had meals, helpers, and trailer picker uppers helping us out. Since we are both not working and Owen is much MUCH more stable on his feet we feel almost back to normal. Owen is still waking multiple times at night, screaming for daddy. He had 1 night where he slept through but has been waking 2-3 times per night. He only wants Chris even through the day as well, so this has been interesting for Chris to shower, mow the feild, go to the bathroom, etc.
Owen was acting his normal self yesterday so I felt ready to discipline him. For so long we have let a lot go, using only gentle reminders for things. But rules still apply even though he has been through a lot. We've also been tapering the technology down. The kindle has been worth it's weight in gold, but setting up new rules for that is good for us all. He played it in his sleep in the hosptial!
Thank you to all who have offered to help with meals. The first few days home felt like we had 2 infants but now we are feeling the benefits of a low anxiety life, breathing somewhat carefree air into our bodies.
We had a great home day yesterday, on Easter. Grandparents came over and we spent as much time outside as we could between each kid napping.
So blessed with these babes.
Phone appt today with cardiology to check in. Off to give Owen his morning meds (Thank goodness for the gtube... So nice to use it for meds instead of battle the gags!)
