We had a discharge plan all in place for Monday.
At the last minute, the NICU doctor changed her mind.
He still required oxygen, but they were willing to send him home on it.
We would work with the pulmonologist and pediatrician on weening him off.
His respiration rate was still too high, so they decided to keep him longer.
He had a cardioechogram on his heart yesterday to rule out any problems.
Thankfully his heart looked fine.
It's just isn't normal that he still requires oxygen and is breathing so fast.
His little body is working way too hard to breathe.
I guess he's not quite as textbook as we thought.
He's proving to be more of a mystery like his older brother was.
And we definitely don't want to be discharged one day
And life-flighted back the next day (which is what happened to Max).
Hopefully, they can figure it all out soon!

It was wonderful to see & hold our "Little Angel Sam" as Fiona called him today. He's just so precious. It's great to see him gaining weight. I admire your positive outlook. You're a wise mother, Jen. XO
