Today was Tristan's 5th birthday. For the first time in a very long time Tristan, Haylee, Michelle and myself were able to get out and have some fun togehter. Tristan celebrated his birthday at the Children's Museum. The kids all had a blast. Aislinn and Aidan were there with Uncle Casey and Grandma. Aunt Shanon and Uncle Juan came. And both Tristan and Haylee were happily surprised to see Lilly, Stuart and Glenn. Afterwards, we met up with Grandma and Grandpa Melling at BJs for a good dinner. Big thanks to Mary and Beth for staying with Taylor while we were out. It felt very good to get out as a family and we really appreciate it. Taylor must have appreciated it as well as it sounds like she only had a few alarms go off in the afternoon.
Tonight we are all staying in one of the rooms here at the NICU. We really like the nurse Taylor has tonight and feel comfortable with one of us not being in her room tonight. The doctor apparently allowed only 1/2 hour of kangaroo tonight. It was a surprise to us, and its not worth stressing Taylor for so little time. In some ways I suppose we are robbing her of what she really needs, but the amount of stress she has to go through before/after makes it not worth it to her. We'll discuss this more in the morning with the doctor.
