Olivia came home on November 10th, 2006. We were so excited and ready to bring her home but so nervous also. She was so small and we had to keep her really bundled up so she wouldn't get too cold. She came home in the middle of RSV season so she had to be isolated until March, that way she wouldn't get sick. She had a few visitors (as long as they weren't sick), but we couldn't have a lot of company. Her PaPa was one of the first ones to hold her at home, he is a proud PaPa! Grandma, however, was sick when we came home and didn't get to come visit until after Thanksgiving. She was so upset (I think she called me every day)! We loved every moment when she came home. After spending 12 weeks in the hospital and living in a hotel, you are more than ready to be back home. We spent her first Thanksgiving, Christmas and New year at home. She didn't come home on any monitors, Praise God, but we were still nervous. Momma lost a lot of sleep because I would wake up and have to check on her to make sure she was still breathing. She hadn't had any episodes where she stopped breathing but I was just too nervous, but she was always fine.
