9:30 am – Doctor says Miriam and Emma should be ready to leave the hospital tomorrow morning (Saturday)! They’re wanting to send oxygen home just in case, but they were surprised to learn that our insurance doesn’t cover that, so we’ll see what happens. It’s been three weeks (they told us 1-2) on the Medicaid application and no word yet.
