At around 1:30 this afternoon, Aria was finally able to be released from the ICU. I was downstairs holding her and just waiting for the doctor in the ICU room to sign her release up to Joli’s room. The doctor came up, handed the paperwork to the nurse and said, “Everything is ready except my note of release…but I’m really busy…so I’ll have to finish her up LATER!!!!” The nurse looked at me and said, “I’m sorry, David. It may be a few more hours.” Maybe it was my sad face when the doctor walked by again that made him feel guilty, because after about 15 more minutes he walked up and said, “Ok…she is ready to go. Congratulations on your little girl!” It was awesome.

So, the staff at UCSD have been fantastic. Aria is back in Joli’s room until Wednesday and doing great. She is nursing very well and happy to be in Mommy’s arms. She did have an infection, and the doctors are still researching where he infection started. So Aria will be on antibiotics until Tuesday, and if all goes well, she’ll be released on Wednesday morning. Joli has been released but will be staying at the hospital with her. Thank you for your prayers everyone.
