We finally made it home Monday evening around 8:00pm. Avery ended up getting jaundiced Sunday afternoon and had to spend all Sunday night and most of Monday under the bili light. She was rechecked at 4pm Monday and her levels were well within the normal range, so we were finally cleared to go home. Monday night, I had a reaction to the antibiotic I was given to take for the epidural site infection and so I spent all Tuesday & Tuesday night fighting off the reaction with Benadryl every 4 hours. NOT FUN! My mom and John were WONDERFUL in taking care of me, Avery, meals, & the house...I don't know what I would have done without them. I'm still having issues with soreness and some swelling in my back at the epidural site, but we are hopefully on the right track for healing. Overall, I'm feeling better, but still not 100%...I'll be so glad when the knot/soreness go away. Avery is doing so wonderfully. She is eating and sleeping like a champ. She's up about every 3-3.5 hours like clock work ready to eat. John brought Gretta home Tuesday evening and she has done remarkably well with Avery. We were a little worried! :) Gretta gets very concerned when Avery cries and will run to wherever Avery happens to be at the time. She also wants to sniff Avery quite a bit and is just very curious about her overall.
