Thanks for the encouragement everyone.  Elliott can't go home yet because he isn't eating enough.  otherwise he is doing well!  no monitoring, his blood sugar has stabiliized, no A&B spells of concern (one brady but no stim required). 

My rash is just worsening and they doctors are thinking it is pemphigoid gestationis....not fun. at. all. They increased my steroid dose (now that I am not pregnant) 6 fold hoping it will help the worst of it.  I'm so miserable.  My body is covered in blisters and new ones pop up hourly.  Ugh....plese pray it goes away in days not months.

    First of all let me say Elliott is super adorable.  I love the hair.  Secondly, congrats so much on your keeping him in there as long as you could.  I hope you are feeling better soon.  That sounds horrible.
