NICU Milestones: We're Going Home!
Going home from the hospital is a day we will never forget! Because my daughter’s entire NICU stay was during the pandemic, no family members were able to see or visit her. When Ellie was finally discharged from the hospital, the two grandmothers were the welcoming committee right outside the hospital doors! Seeing them waiting for us was almost too much for my Mama heart to handle. It was extra special for my husband’s mom, as this was her first grandchild. The nurses were so kind to take pictures of the special moment. They were celebrating with us too!
