Abby was discharged from the hospital today. She is in pretty good shape, but still in some pain, and on a variety of painkiller and antibiotics. We are staying in a boarding room in the hospital for the weekend, until we can figure out more permanent housing next week.
Babies are both doing well. We applied for birth certificates for them today. Madeleine came off her morphine, and is now moving around quite a bit. I got to hold Dillon today. No words to express the feeling. They put me in an open-front gown so he lies on me skin-to skin, then they cover him in warm blankets, so I can feel him breath as he lies on me. He feels amazing. He was very calm, and seemed to be sleeping.
Some pics from today....

Dear David and Abby;
Did any of the medical team ever think to tell you that it takes MANY weeks to recover from surgery? Abby is so fit and used to be very active, but bodies heal best when they are at rest and sleeping. Hormones are crazy post partum, and the worry for your wee ones doesn't help. If I can say anything that might help it would be, be with the babies when you can and sleep almost every other minute. Your health is very important too. I'm sure having David with you has been a God send. All of you are in our prayers. May God's peace and His healing touch bless you and the babies. We look so forward to seeing them soon.
Much love, Susan and Vic XOXOXOX
Hi Abby & David,
We're so sorry that Dillon & Madeleine are having some problems again. They're such little fighters that we feel sure all will be well.
I think that you're giving yourself a hard time Abby, you've had major surgery & from my own experience it takes an age to get back to feeling like your old self. Just get lots of rest & sleep, it's the most healing thing you can do for your body. Take each day a step at a time & be kind to yourself.
You rarely leave our thoughts, Lots of love to you all.
Diane,Nanny & Colston xoxooxoxoxo
