Christmas Day!

Merry Christmas All!

So we did get our Christmas wish of taking Chloe home for the holidays....sort of. Two days before Christmas Chloe was unable to hold down her feeds and would subsequently throw up all of her formula. This was happening every feed so the team at Blythedale decided it was in Chloe's best interest that her feeds be slowed down and given continuously with only one hour break between feeds. They also decided that it was best that she return to the hospital after Christmas so that she can have a GI (gastrointestinal) consult if the vomiting continues. Very bitter sweet in the sense that we were able to have Chloe home for Christmas but all the while knowing that she will have to return Saturday evening.

Of course, we are saddened that her discharge from the hospital is not permanent - but we do know that this is definitely in her best interest. We want her home for our own personal selfish reasons. I'm sure you can all understand our position.

That being said, I'm going to end this so that I can spend time with Chloe and our wonderful family! Happy Holidays, Merry Xmas and we wish you all a safe and happy day! We love you all and wish you and yours nothing but the best!

Rethier, Michelle, Olivia & Chloe
