still on a roller coaster

We all woke up so excited because the nurse yesterday said she heard they were discharging Rebecca on Sunday!! Joy changed into several different outfits trying to decide which was appropriate to show her baby sister. Carson claimed his territory of being the one to sit next to baby Rebecca on the car ride home. I was trying not to get my hopes up. Dennis was determined that she was coming home today no matter what. Well, baby Rebecca did not get to come home today. Her lab work came back with a CRP count that was much too high to release her. The CRP count indicates that there is either inflammation in the body (which could be from the surgery) or that she is fighting an infection. Also, her hemoglobin count is low and she may need a blood transfusion. Hopefully, new labs in the morning will be better. One of these days she will come home....
