We got the call and were to go to Saskatoon by air at 1:00 pm. We call to see if they had left or are still scheduled to leave by 1:00, however they were unable to get the plane any more, so they needed to make alternate arrangements with the ground ambulance, which they ended up getting and they were then to leave by 3:00-3:30pm. We dropped Emily and Brayden off at grandma and grandpa Aschenbrener's, called the hospital again, just to make sure as it was nearly 4:00 and they hadn't called yet to say they left and they said that she was leaving shortly. They were having some problems with getting the CPAP machine to work, so they needed to intubate Erica in order to get her to Saskatoon safely, after they intubated her they needed to take an X-Ray and do some blood gases to make sure it was all in the right spot and working as it should be. So we told them to call our cell when she was leaving as we were on our way to Saskatoon ourselves.
We ended up calling them back multiple times as they hadn't called and each time I got the same answer nope she hasn't left yet we are waiting on the gases. We made it to Lanigan and decided we better sit and eat as she still hadn't left Regina and we were already half way there. So we ate and then left again for Saskatoon. finally at 6:15 the NICU called
"Sweet Little Miss Erica has left the building" said her nurse
Erica arrived at the Royal University Hospital NICU in Saskatoon at 8:30pm. They placed her under a "disease precaution" for 24- 48 hours until her blood work came back negative, because she came from another hospital
Erica's Saskatoon admission weight was 3.31 kilo's 48.5 cm long (19 inches)
