My mom and dad were excited and getting everything packed and ready to go. The nurses told my dad he needed to bring my car seat into the nursery because they needed to see how well I was able to breathe while I was in it. I am happy to say, I did well. :) The nurses were really sad and they cried that I was leaving but happy that I was doing so good and able to finally go home!!
I wish I could say that I was also able to leave my oxygen behind. But I wasn't. I had to bring it home with me. They gave me a tiny little tank for my mom to pull around while she carried me.
So I'm packed up, in my car seat and ready to go!! I could hear my mom and talking about the oxygen tank. My mom was really scared to be driving with it in the car. My dad had to drive his work truck home while I rode with my mom in the car.
My mom was So nervous!!! She wanted to get me home safely. The oxygen tank didn't make it any easier either. She was going so slow that I'm pretty sure a turtle could have beat her home.
Seriously........
Finally,..... a year later we made it home. Just kidding not a year but it sure did feel like it. My mom was afraid to lay me down in my bassinet cause of my oxygen, so she held me a lot. Which was okay with me. I even got to sleep with her when night came! I slept like a baby. Literally.....
The next morning my mom had to run errands. She was afraid to take me in the car again so she called my nana and asked her if she could watch me while she was gone. My mom refused to take me anywhere really while I was on oxygen unless she had to because she was so scared something would happen. So me and my mom stayed home a lot until I was able to get off my oxygen.
After being home for a week I was oxygen free!!! I was doing everything on my own!! My nana even took me and my mom to get my pictures taken. I wore some preemie clothes my mom bought me, but on one of the pictures I was an angel. The clothes swallowed me!! But I still made a pretty adorable angel!!! Cause that is exactly what my mom said I was. An angel!!! <3
