A long morning...and night

We spent the night at my parents and Ramsey woke up several times so we didn't sleep so well. I tried to be good and just give her the pacifier and pat her. She would go back to sleep pretty quickly she just kept waking up every few hours. Who knows what was wrong with her. Evie slept through it all:) When she woke up again at 6 i finally woke Evie up and we fed them. We had to leave for Rehab at 7:45 so i knew it would be a rough morning. By the time we got to the hospital they were asleep of course. 

They were short staffed and had to go separately so Evie went for the first hour. 

The main concern with her is head control. They check several types of development and  try to see if they are catching up with their actual age of 4 months. Evie ranged from 1-4 mths. The issues they noticed with her was with tracing toys. She would follow it until she got to the center, then she wouldn't go the rest of the way. Unlike the doctor, they did think her muscles on her left side were tight. They gave us more exercises to do to stretch them out. They think the reason she isn't doing certain things is because of this. She did do a great job of lifting her head for them so i was glad about that. I usually have to put a towel down or lay her over her boppy. They suggested only putting toys on her right side so she looks that way and eventually she will get stronger. They are wanting Evie to come back more and will see her again in 2 weeks.

Ramsey went for the second hour and while we waited for the next therapist, they were both crying and getting each other going. She got in there and took Ramsey so that helped quiet them down. Thats the hardest part with two if you are alone, you cant comfort them both.

Ramsey did very well and was in the 3-4 mth range so YEAH! They are releasing her so lucky us only have to pay a $35 copay instead of $70!! ugh.... 

I am thankful for insurance though, so i shouldn't complain. I am sure all you mothers out there remember getting the hospital bills after your babies were born. Is it not outrageous? We have calculated for the girls including delivery and NICU over $ 150,000. So Praise the Lord for insurance!

Well Ramsey made it up to me and we all took a 3 hour nap this afternoon. I guess i will forgive her ;)
