Update From Home

It is so wonderful to have Farrah home! As you can imagine, our sleep schedules have been drastically changed, but we are so thankful for the changes and recognize how far Farrah has already come. Farrah has been thriving at home with us. She acts more and more like a newborn each day and is growing like crazy. As of today, Farrah weighs 5 pounds! Some of the preemie outfits that were too big for Farrah only a few weeks ago don't even fit in her any more length-wise. Farrah has been seen by her pediatrician twice this week for weight checks and in order to keep a close eye on Farrah. I took Farrah to a follow up appointment with the eye doctor and he did not see any signs of  ROP (retinopathy of prematurity), which is great news. We don't need to check back with him for another 6 months. Farrah will be seeing a pulmonologist later this month to have a baseline check up regarding her lungs. She will need to be followed for a while as we keep an eye on Farrah's lungs and see if there will be any long term issues from when she was on the vent. Early Intervention will be doing an evalution of Farrah to see if she shows any early signs

Our time to update the blog is even more limited these days, but please know that we are all doing well, especially Farrah. I plan on updating at least once a week. now that Farrah is home. Thankfully, our cats did not have any issues adjusting to a baby being in the house. They want to be around Farrah and come looking for her when they hear her crying. We still put them in the laundry room at night and watch them all the time when they are around Farrah - just because you can't be too safe around animals.

I hope to get some more photos posted online soon. Thank you for all your communication about how happy you all are that Farrah is finally home!
