Saturday

Before we left the hospital on Friday, some of the managers came around and asked us how our stay had been -- so we had a chance to tell them about the concerns we had. They were really interested in what we had to say and seemed to be taking it seriously, so that was a nice positive note to end on. (Of course, that positive impression was then reduced when I went to the pharmacy to pick up James's prescription refills -- which I had dutifully called in three days in advance, as instructed -- only to find that one of the medicines was not ready, and it takes four hours to make, so I had to make another trip back to the hospital that evening! Ugh!)

A couple of our favorite NICU nurses were working on Friday, so we went to visit them after James was discharged -- it's always wonderful to see them, so that also helped brighten our day.

As Mike mentioned in a previous post, poor little Mattie had a terrible runny nose yesterday, plus another tooth coming through (another top one), so he was not a particularly happy camper yesterday. (Sorry, Grandma Linda and Grandma Sue!) He is somewhat improved today but still not back to his normal self. We are hoping James doesn't come down with the same thing, but given that they're both crawling around and putting everything in their mouths, we don't have a chance with germ control, so we'll just have to hope for good luck and a good immune system. :)

Despite his cold, Mattie still figured out how to pull himself up to a standing position in his crib today. Yikes!
