Ready to Go Home

We're so excited, because we're going home today. At 10am, they are going to discharge Jess and then Zak (we're testing out spelling variations) will follow. I'll be emptying out the room, since we packed enough to be here another week.

We're excited to take Zak home and introduce him to his dogs. Sierra and Foster were very interested in his smell, but as you can see, they liked his blanket. Foster was actually laying on it when I left to come back to the hospital.

Eric and Nadja stopped by with Sydney yesterday. I was excited for Zak to meet his 1st play buddy, but they both slept through the entire visit. Seriously, didn't even know the other was there.

The little guy keeps feeding, but he's still working on his technique. He's really strong though and pretty inquisitive. He also seems to have a lazy streak (falls asleep eating). Essentially, we think he's the human version of Foster. He has a couple nicknames too, when swaddled up we call him the "burrito" but the nurses said it's more tamale than burrito. Also when he wants to eat and he is on our chest/shoulder, he'll do the "woodpecker" where he head butts us rapidly.

Jess is doing a lot better too. She got her staples out this morning and is gaining mobility, so she'll be back to normal soon enough.

Right now we've got outfits ready for each of us to go home in and it's shower time for me, then Jess, then Zak.

Here are a few more pics to keep y'all happy.

Zak, you're getting sleepy...very sleepy...Whatcha lookin' at?
Raise your hand if you're sure
One person is sleepy...guess who
