Savannah is released!

Well, things didn't go as smoothly for the 24 hour check as they should've, but the hospital still allowed Savannah to be released late Monday afternoon (June 20, 2011).  Most of the issues that caused the 24 hour check to go bumpy were due to the hospital staff...waking her between feedings for various things, the excess iron supplement causing irritability and constipation, the suppositories to try to counteract the iron, and so forth.   They are now thinking that there is a possibility that Savannah could also suffer from acid reflux.  The doctors told Nicole to just watch and take her to the doctor for medication if necessary!

Here are some pictures of her big day and first adventure outside the hospital!

Carolyn was the nurse on duty when Savannah was released.  She was Savannah's nurse many times.  Nicole really enjoyed Carolyn.

Savannah did very well on the car ride home!

Savannah was released 2 weeks ahead of her projected schedule...she progressed more quickly than expected from the beginning...well, after the first 20 minutes of her life!  Her current weight is 5lbs, 15oz.

We are SO grateful to have Savannah home!!!
