Well when we got to the hospital today, they told us that Andrew passed his hearing test last night. They also moved his isolette out of the room. I then noticed that the gavage tube was out of his nose, but still stuck to his face. Andrew decided he didn’t want the tube in anymore, but he didn’t quite get all of the tape off this time. He did this as the doctor’s were making their rounds, so the doctor decided that he didn’t need it anymore. He recently has only needed it for a few times and during those times it was only for a small amount of milk. The nurse then told me that as long as everything went well, the doctor thought that Monday would be the day to discharge Andrew! Of course we were thrilled and the nurse joked that she “had to give dad CPR when he found out the news.” He did really well for the morning feeding and then we headed out to run some much needed errands before the homecoming. When we got back for the evening feeding, he took his entire bottle for us…in no time at all. I think he even had a little extra in the bottle. So we will have a couple of busy days coming up. We need to bring the car seat in tomorrow, so he can do the “car seat test.” He has to sit in the car seat for 30 minutes, while hooked up to the monitors, to see if he can maintain his oxygen levels, etc. Then we’re going to help give him a bath. Then we’ll have to go over some things and continue to ask any questions. On Monday, he is scheduled to be circumcised and then by the afternoon, head home. So we have a lot to do before Monday…hopefully we’ll be home by Monday night! I posted a picture of his crib…and one of him bundled in layers.
Snuggled in my crib.
Bundled in two layers of clothes, swaddled in a blanket and covered with a blanket. Oh and a hat that always falls off.
No more gavage tube!!!
My new crib.
