April 7th Sydney was discharged from the NICU. Her stay lasted 137 days. When she arrived on Nov 21st 2007 she weighted 1lb 9oz, the day she left she was 8lbs 60z.Sydney ate her breakfast and got to take one last bath at the hospital. We loaded her into her car seat and said our goodbyes to the staff. Syd's primary nurse made a special trip in to see her off. Going to the hospital had become so much of our life for so long. It will be a big change adjusting to having our daughter home.
Sydney slept the ride home without a peep. She is adjusting to the new sights and sounds that go along with not being in the hospital. Mom and Dad are also adjusting to our new schedules. We already know that as soon as we adjust, she will change the rules again.
We want to thank the staff at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. They were incredible, and helped Sydney in so many ways throughout her time there. The doctors, nurses and respiratory therapist at the NICU were all tremendous in their care and support. We have made so many friends and learned so much from so many quality people during our stay at the BI. We owe them so much.
