Discharge Today

Published July 13, 2009, 11:11 am | by chris

Ruby is being discharged this afternoon. It is still very unreal. Her incision is looking better, but we will still keep an eye on it. We'll post lots of picture later this evening. This is so unbelievable. I don't think it'll really hit us until we disconnect her monitor leads and put her in the stroller and look back into the empty crib.

Congratulations on your NICU
