home.
home. after our ordeal in the icu, i thought that i would be excited to go home. truthfully, i was a little scared. our little buddy got sick so fast that i think we both were a little nervous at the prospect of a repeat...even though that is highly unlikely.
calvin is doing fine. he is slowly being weaned off of his narcotics which means he is still loopy most of the time. we have to give him medication of some sorts every three hours and those medications will be decreased over the next 2 weeks. he sleeps through the 2am methadone but it is going to be rough on his parents. i thought that i understood sleep deprivation after his first month on this earth, but now that seems like child's play. spending 10 nights in the icu has given us a very high baseline of exhaustion, and these nights just keep cutting our toughness grooves a little deeper.
i feel so fortunate that this is all winding down. the support of family and friends has been overwhelming and we are very grateful.
i'm sure i'll expand more as i get more clarity. but until then, i'm going to sign off.
happy saturday.
