1st Home Care Visit

Today was our 1st home care visit and things went very well.  After a bit of sorting trying to figure out the best/most comfortable way to set things up (and searching for an unused plugin) we were up and functioning.

We watched Payton's heartbeat for about 20 minutes and though it was hard to get a base line, this is probably one of the things you want to have difficulty getting...essentially she was so active.  The nurse said, "this is not the heartbeat and activity of a stressed baby".

So that went well and we were able to adjust some of the home management activities that are now a nice fit in the middle of all the advice we have been given so far.  So we have taken the mixed information and now have one solid plan for home care.

Thanks everyone for checking in (and thanks Auntie Bev for your diligent monitoring and cheering :)).

Love you, Bye-Bye for now,
