As told from the last post we came home Friday the 21st. We got home about 2:30. I was sore but feeling alright. We found out Landon didn't quiet pass his Jaundice test so we would need to go to labs Saturday morning, which was also Dean's birthday. The kids couldn't get enough of Landon and I had to set a timer so they would all get a turn and so Landon could also get a break. Saturday morning came. It was Dean's Birthday!! I made Dean a birthday breakfast, and the kids gave dad all his presents. We then hurried off to get Landon's blood draw before the 48 hours were up. He was a champ, but didn't pass again, so we knew we would be coming back Monday morning again for another draw. Monday he also had a dr. checkup and circumcision. Saturday morning in all the hustle I started to get a pretty good headache. By lunch time I had taken medicine and was laying down. Dean had to take the kids to soccer and coach that afternoon and I just couldn't go. That night I was still sick with a headache even with strong post pregnancy medicine. As long as I layer down I was fine. We had Matt and Marci come and visit Saturday morning. By Sunday my head was still killing medicine wouldn't touch it, and when I stood up I could barely open my eyes. Dani and Kai came to see the new cousin as well. Sunday evening I had Dean and my dad give Landon and I a blessing. Monday I called down to the hospital because I had been reading about a headache you can get from having an epidural. They only thing to cure it was to go back in and have them reinsert the epidural and take blood from you pump it back into your spine. So Monday night around 6:30 dean and I headed down to the hospital with Landon. Monday morning however I still had to be a mom and get kids off to school, take Landon in for his next Lab, and Dr apt to get circumcised. Landon didn't pass his labs again which meant I had to go back again in 48 hours for more blood draws. Anyway back to Monday night. They did the procedure and 2 1/2 hours later we were heading home. I was really sore and aching from the procedure, but the headache was gone as soon as they set me up. I was a happy camper. I had to be down for 24 hours not doing to much to make sure I didn't re open the wound, but I had planned family pictures for Tuesday, just around the house as well as some newborns for Landon. Everything went okay for such a chaotic time, and we got through it. Landon finally passed his jaundice testing Wednesday. I should say it was going up slower so they figured it would heal by itself. No more lab work and foot pricks. By Thursday we had no more Dr's or Labs or so I thought…Preston decided to get hurt on a motorcycle. He tried a jump and fell off the motorcycle on his hand. We went in for x rays the next day and they came back not quiet sure…there was some swelling around some areas they wanted to check so we have to do the waiting game and see what happens. So Landon had made it through his first week of life, as well as the family. So excited everything turned out for Landon and I.
Sitting in the sun to try and help the Jaundice pass quickly.
Brecken checking on Landon the first Morning home as a family. Such a cute thing to see.
