King of New York · 05-30-2013, 11:33 AM

Loving the positive trend, DG--all fingers and toes are corssed for continued good news.

CraigSca · 05-30-2013, 11:39 AM

Dan, we ran into a bilirubin issue with our first born and they had to take blood constantly to see how it was doing. One of the nurses working with him attempted to take blood and said, "he don't bleed good." Loved hearing that as he's screaming his head off during his second day of life.

Things'll get better and will be all worth it when you bring her home. Take care...

Eaglesfan27 · 05-30-2013, 11:44 AM

Prayers and best wishes your way, Dan.

My oldest son was in NICU for about a week for the same issue. Then on a lighted blanket at home for another week. I have confidence that she will come around, just hang in there. It's tough not being able to do much but sit and look at your newborn through the glass, but she will get over it, you will get home, and then you can hold her all you want.

Ben E Lou · 05-30-2013, 12:01 PM

I missed this initially. Congrats on the birth. Title update got my attention. Glad things are improving.

Sweed · 05-30-2013, 12:42 PM

Glad to hear things are getting better. Abigail is in my thoughts and prayers.

DanGarion · 05-30-2013, 05:04 PM

Two more good glucose screenings before feedings and we can ALL go home! So that will be about 10 pm

Eaglesfan27 · 05-30-2013, 06:02 PM

Awesome update!

CleBrownsfan · 05-30-2013, 06:13 PM

That is great Dan!! Its going to be awesome for mom and baby (and you)to be at the comfort of your home.

mauchow · 05-30-2013, 06:47 PM

Congrats again, Dan. Stay strong. Girls are such warriors and she will do just fine! I know this because my baby girl was in the NICU For 8 weeks after delivering at 27 weeks. I know you know that, but it's just a reminder. I know you're anxious to bring her home though! IT was quite the opposite for us when Leah was sitting at 2 pounds... we wanted her to stay as long as she needed! Weird feeling for sure.

DanGarion · 05-30-2013, 07:46 PM

One more test! 9:00 pm can't come soon enough.

Flasch186 · 05-30-2013, 09:34 PM

yay!!! I have chills.

corbes · 05-30-2013, 10:33 PM

Keeping you in my thoughts. Although newborns are little, they are so strong. Best wishes for continued progress. Will be looking for an update.

DanGarion · 05-31-2013, 02:04 AM

We are all home!!!

Had fallen out of the loop during the bump in the road. Great to see the positive trend, thoughts & prayers with you guys until you all get home.

CleBrownsfan · 05-31-2013, 07:41 AM

saldana · 05-31-2013, 08:13 PM

awesome news!!!!

DanGarion · 05-31-2013, 08:40 PM

She's a NICU short timer, but it was still rough. I got to talk with a couple of the other families that have kids there and hear some of their stories. Babies that were born at 14, 21, and 24 weeks! It was inspiring seeing their strength and positive energy. There was one family specifically that I spoke with during night 1 (of 2) in the NICU that just really made me feel at much at ease as I could. I went and picked their little girl up a card and wrote them a message saying how much their positive energy and just overall attitude helped me and thanking them. I ended up seeing them again yesterday and had a long chat as well.

I just want to do something for all the families that are in there that really have it bad (considering we really were just short timers).

MizzouRah · 05-31-2013, 08:44 PM

Glad you're home!

King of New York · 05-31-2013, 10:12 PM

Great news, DG. NICU is always rough for everyone involved. I had a niece who was in NICU for months. Her story had a happy ending, but going there was always an intense experience, and not everyone in there was so fortunate

So I'm always happy to hear about another happy ending.

Schmidty · 05-31-2013, 10:26 PM

Happy to hear this.
