Babies are home!!!!!

Isla, Solomon, and Simon are home!!!  They all came home yesterday.  We were hoping to share the news earlier that they were coming home, but Isla was borderline with eating enough and it wasn't until yesterday afternoon when the Dr. was filling out the discharge papers that we received confirmation.  We packed up the car with 3 car seats across the middle row, my parents in the back row, and all of our bags and the oxygen tanks for the babies.  The "baby bus" passed it's first test. :o)

They are all taking full bottles consistently and their only treatment now is 1/16 L of oxygen.  They were on 1/32 L down in ABQ, but we're ~2000ft higher so they got an extra bump up for the trip home and will probably be weaned in the next 2-4 weeks.  Now that we no longer have to deal with feeding tubes and all of the monitoring wires stuck to them, a single oxygen tube seems like a piece of cake to deal with.

Thanks everyone for your thought, prayers, help, and everything else you've done for us.  We're excited that our babies are ready to just be normal newborns.
