Day 10

DAY 10:


Yesterday we took Kayson to the doctor because he has been sick for the past few days. Luckily he tested negative for the flu but has an upper respiratory infection. I am nervous about bringing the baby home while Kayson is sick because I don't want him to end up back in the hospital. But I'm hoping all will go well and the baby won't catch it. Today was the big day we finally got to bring Kalijah home!!! Kayson and Krehl got to spend time with their cousins at the zoo today while we went to see Kalijah. The doctor told us we could take him home around 6:00pm. Krehl was very excited to see the baby but I didn't want him to get to close because he is getting what Kayson has. Kayson was not to sure about the baby he kept peeking his head around to see him then hiding back in his seat. When we got home Kayson was not happy about me holding the baby. After his meltdown he kept running into the living room to see if he could see Kalijah, then he brought me a little tiny car for Kalijah to play with. Russ tried to keep Kayson and Krehl entertained and not to close to the baby. My biggest fear now is Kalijah catching what Kayson and Krehl have and ending up back in the hospital. But we bought lots of hand sanitizer and lysol spray and have been constantly washing our hands. The boys are glad to be home in their own beds and Kalijah is doing good so far. He ate 4 oz when we got home and has pretty much been sleeping since. Luckily my grandma will be coming to help out tomorrow, the boys are excited to spend some time with her. We are very grateful that we have all 3 boys at home with us now and the Kalijah is doing so well. We appreciate everyone's prayers and thoughtfulness. We have to be very cautious, the doctors said it is very important that he doesn't get sick for the next 4 months and that we do not let the baby around a lot of people during that time. We will keep everyone posted while we get settled in and will let you know when we are ready for visitors. This is definitively a new experience. It is scary to bring him home with no monitors showing us his heart rate and breathing are good and not being able to keep him away from sickness and germs but I am so glad to finally have him home. It is a relief knowing that our family is now complete and we our together.
