Back "Home"

Sorry for the lack of updates...
All is going well and we are back at Hillcrest now, which is like being back at Harper's first home.  We are very grateful for the care we got down at Main Campus and appreciate all of the hard work by the nurses, doctors and staff...  they all did a great job during the 5 weeks we were there.  But, despite their great work, the Main Campus of The Clinic is just a hard place to enjoy.  The parking situation was a pain, the drive down there (in the opposite direction of work) was a drag, the 4 babies to a 'small' room was uncomfortable and the fact we had to leave the room any time the doctors/nurses had to talk about another baby in the room was very inconvenient.  All of those are out of the control of the nurses, doctors and staff members, so we don't hold our unpleasant against them but rather against the situation that the facility created.
So... having said that, we are very happy to be back at Hillcrest!

Harper is doing great!  She needs to get up to full feeds and we should be able to bring her home.  Harper takes a full bottle every here and there with a half bottle in between.  But, last night they said that she took a fully bottle each feed!  So, we will see how today goes and tomorrow and hopefully get a better idea of when we can get her home!

We are very happy with all of the big steps forward she is taking and can't wait to be back in the comfort of our home, which I feel we haven't gotten to be in for more than an hour during the daylight in the past 8 weeks.

Wish us luck with the feedings... this is our last hurdle and hopefully can take it in stride as we push toward the finish line!  =W=
