New Home Plan

I spoke with the doctor that will be on all week today, and she is thinking the discharge day will be Wednesday or Thursday depending on how Colt does. He has to continue to do well off of the breathing treatments, and the true test will be days 5-7 off of them (which is Monday through Wednesday). I think we will be doing the "Car Seat Challenge" on Tuesday. This is where we bring in the car seat, and Colt will get placed in it while hooked up to all of the monitors. They will make him stay in there for at least as long as it takes to drive home. This is because the tiny preemies have a tendency to flop their heads down and block their airway in that position so they test it out to make sure he'll pass. (And I, of course, will have to ride in the back with him on the drive too). He also has to keep up the bottle feeds. He did really well at the 9, 12, and 3 feedings...but the 6 feed was a little bit of a battle with snoozing off. So we will see how the next few days go!
