On Wednesday, Riley and Nikki were both seen by their doctors and approved for discharge. A little before noon, we packed up all of our things and Dennis packed the car. We checked to make sure Riley fit in his car seat correctly, and then he made his way down to the discharge area at MCV with his mom. Dennis met them with the car, and we made our journey home. On our way home, we reflected on our time at the hospital, very appreciative of the visits we received, gifts bestowed, and memories shared. It was a little bittersweet, as we were never able to bring our little Delaney home. Riley is a lucky little boy, in that he has a big sister constantly looking over his shoulder. We have no doubts that she will keep him straight.
At home, we introduced Riley to his new pack n' play (with vibrating bassinet feature) and various other home remedies that a hospital does not supply. We tried to create a routine as best we could while trying to remain flexible for his needs. After all, Riley is the new king of our house.
Grandma Irene and Uncle Mikey were nice enough to bring over dinner for us, and we enjoyed some roasted chicken and mashed potatoes, as well as some other goodies for dessert. Also, we enjoyed a visit from Brandon and Marisa. When they arrived, Riley was very calm, awake, and alert. That would quickly change when Marisa held him. I guess he doesn't like blondes :) It turns out he was just hungry and had some gas, none of which was Marisa's fault (in fact, we blame Brandon for the gas).
