First car ride today

We've been home basically two whole weeks now and things are going really good. We met with a new nurse yesterday and we really liked her and of course she loved Caydence (who couldn't!). She started today and she is going to be working from 5am-1pm Monday through Friday. I think she is really going to work out and it's nice that she was willing to come in at 5 when our night nurse leaves so we can actually sleep in a little once we get comfortable with her. Our night nurse is good and we feel pretty comfortable with him so we now are able to sleep at night without staying up with him. The new day nurse really knows what she's doing so I'm sure we will be comfortable enough with her pretty soon that we won't have to get up when she gets here. We finally got our batteries for the ventilator today so we had our very first outing and went to see our new pediatrician. Caydence did great with her first car ride and during the appointment. It was kinda funny seeing this doctor because we are used to all of our specialist doctors at Stanford and this doctor was just kinda lost in a way because Caydence has just had so much done to her. I like this doctor though because she is really motivated to learn everything about Caydence and the whole office staff was really good too and wanted to get to know Caydence. We will be going in every week for a while just to keep monitoring her and for the doctor to really get to know her. The only issue we are having with Caydence right now is that she spits up all the time which is really getting old. The pharmacist gave us some ideas to try with her meds to see if it helps out so we will try and see what happens. Otherwise everything else is going good. Caydence is such a happy baby and we are so thankful to finally be home. In a way it is weird being home just because for so long we basically lived at that hospital and at the Ronald McDonald house. We really miss all of our nurses and doctors and we especially miss all of the friends that we made while we were there.
