Carseat Test #2!

Landon is in his car seat right now for the "challenge" they make him do before he can go home. He has to be in his car seat for an hour and a half hooked up to all his monitors and stuff to make sure none of his stats will go crazy from him being in the car seat. We did this in colorado springs too but when they transferred him it became a moot point. (Or a moo point, like a cow's opinion). He's doing well so far and sleeping so we hope he stays that way all the way through it! This is one of the many things we have to do before discharge. We're trying to do all of our video watching, pamphlet reading, etc to be ready for whenever they want to send us home!

We could go home as early as tomorrow, or it could be Monday, depending on what they think in the morning about his eating and weight change and if we can get the equipment we'll need to take home with us. He's eaten well so far today, 53ml and 42ml and they want him to be at least 40 so he's just got to maintain the pace! They are going to start fortifying his milk today so he gets more "bang for the buck" in his eating. It sounds like we'll go home with him on 3 meds that we'll have to give him by mouth through a syringe and a pulse oximeter which measures the oxygen saturation level in his blood. It's pretty cool, it just have to be strapped to his hand or foot, don't have to draw any blood. From what I understand we'll just have to take his sats daily, he won't have to be continuously hooked up to it like he is now.

That's all for now- everything else continues to look good- I think they are ordering an x-ray later today to check and make sure all his insides are doing well with the resumed feedings. If all continues to go like it is now we should be headed home soon!
