As in discharge. Today was a very productive day. We have been trained on the equipment that we will be taking home Oxygen and a PulseOximeter. We had a discharge planning meeting to get all of our ducks in a row. Tyler failed his first car-seat test so we will likely have to take him home in a "Car bed" Like a car-seat but he lies down. He is just not big enough for the seat we bought when we thought were only dealing with the standard full-term size baby.
We have done more paperwork this week than I usually do for taxes every year. His hearing test is scheduled for tonight and he just had his puppy shots (the standard newborn vaccines). The list of to-do before discharge is getting much smaller. We are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. We just hope it's not an oncoming train. It's rather scary to realize that we're getting flying solo soon, without a team of nurses behind us 24/7. Tonight we are in the Koala suite. It's a room where parents can spend a night or two trying out everything they need to care for their child all just one button away from lots of help. We are the only ones watching his monitor tonight. We are doing everything we can to be ready to leave when they tell us that we can go.
We have some new pictures but I am in the process of breaking in my new laptop so I don't have a way to post them yet. Stay tuned.
