A Room with a View....of Edina Plastic Surgery and JC Penny

We are rooming with Anders tonight and tomorrow night here at Fairview Southdale. Anders weighed 7 lbs 15 oz this morning. He gained 4 oz overnight.
He received word from Dr. Thompson that Anders will be allowed to leave the hospital on Friday.
We are still concerned about his eating. He fell well below his feeding goal at 3 pm. He is more on track tonight, his mother has made sure of that!
It's sort of surreal that the three of us are together, alone. It felt surreal 3 months ago to be in the hospital in Minneapolis, and to a lesser extent to be on the recovery floor without a baby! At some point this will stop being bizarre, but I don't know when.
Dr. Thompson expressed much confidence in Columbus Children's Hospital. He said that we could make our wishes known that Anders would be admitted there if he has any problems. Dr. Thompson said that there is about a 1 in 3 chance that Anders will wind up back in the hospital some time in the next six months considering his lack of immunity and his chronic lung disease. We can't really think about that now, but I suppose it's good to know. It might take a bit of the edge off the freak-out should that eventuality occur.
On a lighter note, the people picking up Anna's breast pump tomorrow morning thought Southdale was a combo Mall-Hospital. Not yet, my friends, not yet. Edina Plastic Surgery, however, could revitalize Southdale Center.
