Yesterday Elena officially had her last appointment in Ann Arbor. Her 1 month surgical follow-up was performed and it was deemed that all future checkups will be conducted with the pediatrician at home. We basically just need to monitor her weight, to see that she continues gaining. She no longer has to take Zantac and she had her first "real" bath today (not a huge hit with the baby).
The trip itself was a challenge. The peds surgery office was a bit backed up, so our 2:40 appointment really began around 4:45. Luckily, we brought a few bottles with us. One we used during our time in the waiting room. The second we used in an emergency pit stop at Aunt Carol's house.
We thought we were going to make it home before feeding Elena, but she had other ideas. She began crying almost as soon as we got on the expressway. Thankfully, Carol lives in Brighton, so we made a quick stop to mix some formula and to feed Elena. We visited with Carol and played with Everett a bit, and then continued on our way.
Very exciting not to have to go back to Ann Arbor and to know that Elena does not have any further restrictions or medications. Good job, my quick healing baby!!

Awesome news, Elena!! Considering the horror of waiting so long and a longish drive with a hungry baby (I feel your pain) what a great payoff to know that Elena is doing so wonderfully and doens't have to go back to Ann Arbor! Congrats to the parents who are taking such good care of her!
