On the 3rd Day...













It's day 3 and all's well. All's perfect. I think we've probably met everyone that works here at the hospital. It seems like every 10 minutes there's a nurse, tech, lactation specialist, etc. walking through the door. They all knock before they enter but they really don't break stride from hallway to bedside. It's more of a, "I'm here" rather than "can i come in?"

From yesterday to today it seems like Amanda's made a full recovery. Where it took 20 minutes to make a trip to the bathroom with help yesterday, today she gets out of bed by herself, showers, dresses, and gets around in general with no need of help, though help is there. She is doing exceptionally well! When I woke up this morning Amanda was already nursing and I hadn't helped at all. She was able to get everything ready with no help at all. Yesterday it seemed like the healing process was going to move a lot slower, but she's strong willed and determined.

The doctor says that Lydia is in great shape. She's an eager eater and pooper. She's going to fit right in. We'll stay in the hospital one more night and leave sometime tomorow so we're going to milk the last day of professional help for all it's got to offer. Then we start the expedition home.
