We have today agreed with the doctors and nurses that we tomorrow (Wednesday, 19 September), the day the triplets turn three full weeks, will try to go home! This is only sort of a "test", and we will be back on Thursday to evaluate and have check-ups done. It will still be a while before we can leave "for good"; for one thing we need to be independent of feeding through tubes before that will happen.
But still, just be able to sleep in our own beds, and to be with Ludvig and Siri every day will make a big difference. Going back to the hospital for check-ups every day is something we can live with for quite some time (if necessary), since the hospital is only 15 minutes from our house.
We have spent quite a lot of time preparing today. The hospital supplies us with lots of stuff just to be able to continue to take care of the triplets at home as if we still were still at the hospital. We now have a number of bags with diapers, syringes, bottles, vitamins and formula, and a breast pump to bring home. Just packing the car, including mounting the three baby seats, will take quite some time tomorrow.
But, eventually we will get home!
During the night the night staff will run a few more tests while feeding the triplets. This along with tonight's measurements are the last planned checks before our short leave.
