109 days in the NICU - today Emily came home. We spent the last 2 nights in a care by parent room to learn how to use the feeding pump and nebulizer. We had her in the room with us all day waiting for discharge but that didn't happen until almost 8:00 PM. It was a bittersweet moment leaving - we were thrilled to go but we'll miss some of the nurses. Her primary nurse, Carolyn, was so wonderful to us all so I know we'll be keeping in touch.
