Preparing

There is a chance Colt might get to come home tomorrow. We went in today for the beginning of our discharge training where we learned how to work the monitor and other fun baby information. The monitor is loud enough to wake our entire street, sorry in advance to our neighbors. He had his car seat challenge this morning and passed. They opted not to do the overnight test because the monitor is broken and is at another hospital right now, and also because they are sending him home on his own monitor they figured it didn't matter. Kreg and I gave him a bath, hopefully his last hospital bath. Tomorrow at 11am we meet with the doctor and his occupational therapist. Our doctor is on tomorrow and she has the final say in whether or not he can go!

YEAH - Colt's coming home!!! What awesome news, we'll say an extra prayer tonight, and keep our fingers crossed for the good news tomorrow!
The video was cute, Nicole, it looks like you've been taking notes from the nurses. You handled little man like a pro - not a first time Mommy! :)

Looking forward to more good news tomorrow!

Lots of Love,
Jon, Nicole, Anthony & Kaylee
