I'll be Home for Christmas

It is through teary eyes that we share our big news.  Wyatt is coming home!  Not only has his little life been saved but he is thriving.  He will go home with oxygen support for his immature and still developing lungs and we will have yet another transition as we go home but our magical day has finally arrived.  

He passed his car seat test today, having to remain in it for 90 minutes without any de-sats (oxygen level drops) or bradys (heart rate drops).  We've been schooled on preparing his high calorie bottles and giving liquid iron supplements.  We've watched the infant car seat and infant CPR videos.  The diaper bag is packed, the preemie diapers purchased, the bottles are washed, and the bassinet ready to hold our little miracle.  Our home is ready - complete with hand sanitizing "stations" throughout.  And our hearts have always been ready, I believe.


Here he is passing his car seat test with flying colors!

  3. Ok Lisa, this may be very odd that I'm posting on you blog and we don't even know each other! However, I'm a fellow BSD teacher and have many friends who have liked your blog via FB. I am so thrilled for you, Wyatt and your family!! I reached out because I have twins who are in the NICU at overlake. Now 5 weeks old, born at 28 and 6. It has been comforting to read some of your posts. Thank you. Enjoy time at home with your baby, finally!!!
