Fun Fact: Haidee and Reed were married on 10/6. Kira was born on 6/10.
Update at 10 hours after birth> Baby is doing better than mother. But both are safe and doing well.
Update at her 24 hour birthday> Mom is doing much, much better, clearing all her medical tests. Kira is latching very well and eating on a two hour schedule. New skills include sneezing and letting farts.
Update after 60 hours> Haidee is mobile again having completed all her multiple IVs and transfusions. The staff is impressed how quickly she has bounced back. Her lab results are all positive and it looks like we’ll be discharged this afternoon. Kira is a little light in her weight at this time which has some people concerned. The pediatrician discovered this only this morning. Looking into options now.
Update after day 3> We were discharged from the hospital Wednesday afternoon and have come home to settle into our new routine. UCSF was great, and I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else for a complex delivery, but between Kira being fussy and nurses/doctors walking in every ten minutes, we haven’t slept solidly in days. First order of business is to tag team on Kira so at least one of us can grab four hours of continuous sleep. Photos have been updated.
Update after 1 week> On Father’s Day Kira turned 1 week old. Settling into a routine at home has been easier than expected. Both Mom and baby are thriving. Haidee and I have caught up on our sleep and life is returning to normal. Photos have been updated.
