What a great Sunday morning!
Everyone woke up well rested and in a good mood. Claire was excited to go see Kelson today, but had to play nurse first. I was the lucky patient, and her cat Congo was the doctor. It was hilarious listening to all of the things coming out of her mouth.
We got to the hospital around 10:30, and Kelson was asleep in his swing. Claire thought it was neat to rock him in it. At 11:30 we gave Kelson a bath, and Claire was able to watch and help. The nurse also removed Kelsons feeding tube, so he is now 100% tube free. The only thing attached to him is the heart/respiratory monitor.
Kelson ate the majority of his bottle at noon. As we were finishing up the feeding, the flight nurse Sara asked us if we wanted to tour the helipad/helicopter that Kelson rode in. We took the elevator up to the roof. It was really neat to learn more about how they transport babies, and how everything works.
Kelson took another full bottle at 3 PM, and stayed awake for a long time. We left the hospital around 5 and went to Menards to buy Claires swing set. If anyone had 7-9 hours of free time, you are welcome to come assemble it for us!

7 to 9 hours will be more like 12. We brought and built a playground from Menards this spring. The girls LOVE it, but its very time consuming.
