Bella

Bella's site

We finally got to bring Bella home today. She had been in the level 2 nursery for a few days. first because her white blood cell count was high and the docs were concerned with infection, so they put an IV in her head to give her antibiotics and fluids. Her blood culture was negative after 48 hours (thank goodness as she then would have been in the nursery for 10 more days), but her bilirubin count was up, so she was placed in the photo booth/box to help her with that. She then was weened off of the IV and has been feeding pretty well since. It is late, Anita is sleeping, or trying, and I am watching my little Bella until her 11:00 feeding time. Ta.
Byron is still adjusting.

Hello Bella!

This is Dan and Kelly sending you a welcome note. At some point, if your parents need to go out for dinner and want you to meet Michael and Alexa, tell them to bring you to our house. I know this will be awhile, since you need to get used to your mom and dad. I know that will be fast with mom, but give your dad some time. He can be grumpy.

I look forward to meeting you and am happy you are home!

Ryder and Kelly
