Waiting patiently...

So, Maggie didn't get to come home on Sunday. The hospital won't release her until she has been off of all meds for at least 48 hours. She was on Morphine for almost a month, so it is taking some time to wean her off of it. She will go a day without it and be halfway there to going home, but then will need something so its kind of like taking one step forward and two steps back. I was really disappointed at first, but now I just want her to be feeling good when she comes home so it can be a nice experience, instead of her screaming and being uncomfortable and unconsolable. They did the morphine wean really aggressively with her, so she had a last dose of it last thursday but morphine has a half life of 2 to 3 days so she was doing really great and then Sunday morning, the day she was set to come home, they gave her a small dose to help her get through the withdrawals. So I am trying my best to be patient!! I am starting to get really sick of the hospital, but at least the end of her stay there is in sight. I am just thankful that she is doing so well. She eats great and is generally a really happy baby. She likes when grandma reads her stories and LOVES to be held! So, that is the update for now! :)
