We're Home!!!

"We're Outta Here"
It took Kate a little while to adjust to being outside.

This is what being in the hospital did to nap time. I went to check on Kate about 30 minutes after putting her down for a nap and she was wide awake showing no interest for sleeping. That's going to have to change :)

Well, we made it. Kate was released from the hospital on Tuesday afternoon. Unfortunately, Bryan did end up going to Nebraska, so my mom came up to stay with us while he is gone. It's been a little bit of an adjustment (i.e. a lot more equipment, wacky sleeping schedule, etc.), but it is so nice being home. It's kind of sad, because we made a lot of friends while we were up there and are going to miss all of Kate's fabulous nurses. She has done really well since she has been home, but we are going to have to work on her sleeping patterns. She seems to have picked up some bad habits in the hospital :)
From here on out, it's just going to be a matter of time for her Tracheomalacia to heal to the point where her Trachea is stronger. Most babies outgrow it anywhere from 18-months to 3-years, so we just have to wait and see. Needless to say......we are very happy to be home!
