We are spending the night at Children's for Jack's last night at the hospital. He is medically ready to be home and we are used to taking care of him - they just want parents to have at least one night to completely take care of the baby before sending it home. He is doing great and besides feeding him every 3 hours, it should be an easy night.
This morning Jack's oxygen equipment and pulse/ox monitor were delivered and we learned how to use everything. He will have his oxygen tube around his face for a while, and the pulse/ox monitor will let us know if he has any problems with heart rate or pulse. It will be a little frustrating, but will make us comfortable having him home without worrying about checking on him all the time.
Jack passed his car seat test without any problems. He had to stay in his carseat for 90 minutes to make sure he can tolerate the car ride home. We had to buy a smaller car seat today because our car seats are way too big for him right now. Hopefully by the time Luke comes home Jack will have grown into their matching car seats so that we won't have to buy another one.
Well, it's feeding time so we will finish up for the night. It will be great to have Jack home tomorrow!
