So very close


Tristan is progressing along nicely. He had the overnight test that monitors his breathing and heart rate for 12 hours. That determined that he would need to go home on a monitor. Because of his issues with eating they have also decided he will go home with oxygen for use during feeding. We've elevated the head of the bassinet which will help with his acid reflux. He is finally eating all of the bottle feeds so the fedding tube was removed, woo hoo! I have been sick so haven't been in there for three days, which isn't fun. Unfortunately I'm still getting over it and hoping it will be gone by the time he comes home. We are waiting for the brazelton test that monitors his movements and reactions and the doctor also wants to see him feed a little better. After those two things he'll be on his way home. The other grandparents have arrived so they are ready to help us out as soon as he's here!
