Lorelei is home. She came home this morning (well, technically yesterdat morning, considering the current time...). Shortly after she arrived in Gouda the monitor was taken off, but she still had one IV line on her foot, including a cast to keep it in place... That last IV line came out last night, after her last dose of antibiotics. So, this morning we found just Lorelei in the bed, nothing else :-). We were home around 10:30 and after that spent the day, well, basically just like an ordinary day with the family actually, and that felt so good! We fed her whenever we wanted to, we held her whenever we wanted to and we put her to bed whenever we wanted to. In short, WE took care of our daughter, not someone else...
I know it was only two weeks, but it definitely felt like a lot more... Lorelei is over 6 weeks old now and she has been in the hospital almost 5 of those weeks! So, it feels like we hardly know who she is or how to take care of her.
Well, all that changed today and it is a wonderful feeling. I am looking forward to many more of such ordinary days!

I am so glad Lorelei has come home. I know it has been a long road for her and especially all of ya'll but with the new year getting ready to ring in, it will be a wonderful year for the entire family. Enjoy your little ones and Happy New Year!

Lieve Lisa,
Wat ben ik blij dit alles te lezen!!!!
Ben vandaag weer begonnen met werken op school, heb direct gevraagd of er iemand iets meer wist over Lorelei.
Het website adres stond gelukkig nog op het bord, dus hier ben ik dan!!!
Dit babymeisje wordt een klein tantetje, dat weten we nu al. Sterk en heel veel eigen wilskracht, houd je hard maar vast voor later.
Lieverd, heel veel goeds voor jullie allen en een gezond en gelukkig 2009!!!
Esther
