Today we decided to take a personal day and drive home. Just our luck, while we were driving, the check engine light in Scott's car came on. Perfect timing!
The main reason we wanted to go home for the day was to visit with our animals. They always make everything better. It was very interesting to see how they behaved when we got there. It was as if they knew something was different and they were very affectionate.
Later, Susanne was trying to take a picture of the dogs in the snow and slipped on the ice on the back stairs and landed on her rear. She was okay, but it was definitely scary.
We had to head out earlier than we wanted so that we could drop off Scott's car at the dealership. Luckily, Scott's mom was available to be our taxi. On the way back to the hospital, we decided to stop and indulge in some good old fashioned junk food from Mickey D's. I'm lovin' it!
We thought we had reached our quota for the day for bad luck, but for Susanne it continued when we were dropped off at the hospital and she stepped out of the car onto a patch of ice and nearly lost it again.
It was nice to see a familiar face waiting for us in the waiting room when we arrived. Scott's dad visited with us for a while and caught up on the latest news about Paxton. Later, one of Susanne's BFFs, Julie, came and visited. This really helped to brighten our spirits.
We finally got in to see Paxton late in the evening. The nurses had swaddled him for the first time, which seemed to be very comfortable for him. He looked so peaceful while he slept and we watched him for a little while, but the visit was cut short because of Susanne's injuries acting up, so we walked back to the Ronald McDonald house for some Ibuprofen and rest. We successfully avoided any further slips and made it inside safely.
