Day 19 Home...round 2.

We had a very special day today!  

This morning I went to my very first Bris.  (I was lucky to be situated in the hallway for most of it.)  It was a day full of so many miracles.  The miracle of life, and the love that two babies can bring to a family.  The babies (twin boys) were born using a surrogate.  What an honor it was to be a part of this very special day.  

Prior to my departure some silly photos for Annamary.  

Spencer beat mommy in UNO tonight.  Not sure where he gets his competiveness from.  
Yay...Tucker's home!  
Although he is cranky and sleeps a lot lately, it was so great to see him play with Spencer again.  We had a little crazy mother episode at the Walgreens in Framingham.  If you have ever dealt with a compounding pharmacy you will completely understand what I mean.  It was insane.  Tucker was going to miss four doses of his diuretic before they would even be able to get our drug mixed so we may purchase it.  Completely unacceptable that a 24 hour pharmacy only mixes compounds overnight, after insurance approval which can't be obtained over the weekend.  Me: Umm...what?!?  My son was just discharged from the hospital an hour ago, he cant go without it all weekend, your the only compounding pharmacy in the area?  
Pharmacy tech: yes, what's your phone number, I can call you back when it dies down in here.  Or it would be better if you called the overnight pharmacist, she'll be in at 10 pm.  
Me: are you serious?
Pharmacy tech: what's your number, I will call you back?
Now that's some great customer service at its finest!

I am so great full for the phone number that connects you directly to the cardiac floor at Children's.  Thankfully we know the NP that discharged us by name, I called Katie and told her our little problem. Within 10 minutes, she had called an oral med in that we can half and crush and we can give it to him that way. Its only suppose to be 12.5 mg, due to his size and weight.  When halved and crushed it will be 15mg.  So she checked with the pharmacy, that will be ok as well.



The first sign that Summer is approaching..
