Waiting to Exhale for Charlie

Famous last words yesterday from our nurse practitioner were, "If she behaves herself, Nori can come home with you tomorrow." Later that day, after going 12 days, surpassing the 5 day minimum, without having a Brady or Apnea episode, little Nori decides to have a random brady while lying in her crib. We all tried to ignore it, even the nurse, but there was no denying that Nori had decided that she would not like to behave herself. We think she may be holding her breath for Charlie, unaware of how good she will have it if she does get to be home without him for a few days. Meanwhile, Charlie passed his car seat challenge with flying colors and has been eating like a champ. I don't think he will reciprocate Nori's gesture when his turn to come home arrives. So, we will see what the doctor wants to do today. They may release Nori if she had an uneventful night, or they may wait to see her make five Brady-free days again.

Congrats to Charlie passing the car seat test - before you know it, he will want the car keys!
Nori does not want to leave her brother behind. She wants to give him a chance to catch up. It is so-o-o-o close now. Come on babies - we are all cheering you on!! Love...NONNA

Way to go Charlie!!!! Nori, you must cooperate and stop having Brady's so you and Charlie can come home so that I can spoil you. You are at the last mile and I will be there at the finish line.

All My Love
