Through Monday July 13th - The long road became a little longer. 

On our visit to the girls on sunday we found out Megan had had a couple of heartrate drops that were significant and the girls would be getting a brand new doctor Monday morning. He was new to the area, the hospital, this practice and most importantly my girls. We were told they would not be released if they had a spell within the last 5 days and now it would be 48 hours or so since last spell. So here's all of the questions that started going through my head. Would Megan be there another week? Would I be bringing Olivia home Monday or would they keep her? Would the new doctor be comfortable releasing 2 little girls he barely knew? Would the doctor be updated with how involved I had been the whole way and how ready we were? 

I made sure I was there for rounds 9am Monday morning so I could listen to the update given to the doctor and hear his concerns and plan of action. I found out the doctor had taken time before his shift started to come meet my girls while they were awake and even knew their names. He had been told a lot about them and our family.
He said with her spells he would like to keep Megan one more day to watch her. He would also keep Olivia so coming home would be easier on me (both at the same time.) If Megan didn't have any spells he would release them both Tuesday, if she did he would release Olivia and keep Megan the rest of the week. (Insurance company wouldn't allow Olivia to stay which was fine with me) I spent the day finishing up a few things I had overlooked.
