We could have bought a house
Just got the charges statement from the hospital. $107,000. No, that's not a typo. One hundred and seven thousand dollars. $38,000 for mommy (for three days in the delivery room and two days in a recovery room, plus tests, surgery, etc.) and $90,000 for baby (one week in the NICU, plus tests, etc.).
All I can say is, thank God for health insurance. We don't know how much Yelena's insurance will cover, but hopefully most of it. And now I need to call Kaiser.
Thankfully, it was all worth it. We have a healthy baby who's been home for a week now. We're still adjusting every day, learning the difference between hungry cries and poopy cries. But we both managed to get a good night's sleep last night, which is a small miracle. Meanwhile the boychick grows a little bigger and stronger every day. We've got another doctor's appointment on Friday and I think they'll be very pleased with his progress.
