Since Henry isn't home tonight let me fill you all in on the details of our last 48 hours. On Saturday we came in to see that Henry and Oliver were both being bottle feed each feeding, once they mastered that and could hold there own tempature they could come home. Alex was on every other feeding but was catching up quickly.
So on Sunday we walked in to see Henry in an open crib and his feeding tube out of his nose, which was great. The doctor came over and said that Henry was "ready to fly" we said when and he suggested he was going to work on his discharge papers. We mentioned that the hospital had our car seats. (remember they bought them for us) but we would be happy to work it out. The doctor said ok well then he can go tomorrow. We spoke for about a hour about everything and what to get etc etc so we thought well we better get to the store for the formula, special baby wipes and get the house cleaned up for the next week or so.
This morning I called the NICU to ask if Henry was coming home. The main nurse said she heard Henry might be coming home but the doctor didn't make the rounds yet. He started at 9:00am and she would give me a call to let me know. 12:30pm later daddy called and was told no he wasn't going home today.
Apparently, the doctor today (a different one) decided that since they changed his formula yesterday he wanted to keep him today to see how he did. Ugh.... It is strange since the other doctor would of let us walk out the door... The nurse told Daddy just rest up and get ready. How can we rest the NICU may or may not call depending on the next doctor to walk in the door about us coming to pick up our kids.....
