Day 5, Mommys going home alone

Today Kelli went to feed Tucker at 9am because the doctors needed to take some vital's before they can discharge me from Brigham Women's. Little Tucker is up to about 3/4 of an once per feeding which is still not enough to please him. The Lasix seems to be going very well the only side effect seems to be frequent urination. My brother Chris came down from Maine to meet the little man, also Grammy, Great Grammy, and Gary's sister Michelle.

Yesterday Gary took Spencer to his soccer game, the teams where pretty evenly matched. When one of the little boys took the ball from Spencer he pushed the boy to the ground and had to sit out for 5 minutes, Maybe we need to get him into hockey. My cousin Tracey picked up Spencer after soccer so that Gary could come back into the city to spend the day with Tucker and I.

Now that I have been discharged, and Tucker is still in the NICU we have no place to stay. I know that the nurses are taking great care of him, but I still feel like one of us needs to be nearby. Gary had washed all of our clothes and brought them back in thinking he would be prepared in case Tucker got moved to the cardiac floor. Looks like we will be spending a night at home, guess it will be good to sleep in my own bed.
