Day 99: OMG!!!!!

Sorry for not posting, things have been really busy. The better Henry has gotten the more time we have been spending at the hospital, feeding him, bathing him and just really getting comfortable with him.
About 2 weeks ago they decided to start weaning him off CPAP, cutting it by an hour each night. They stopped when he was at 3 hours, it was actually annoying him more than it was worth at that point. So they left at if he needed it, he would be put back on but otherwise leave him on just o2. I think it's been a week now, and he is going great.
Last week they started using the word "soon" in reference to him going home, but with no commitment to a date. They also had us start getting ready. We are in the process of setting up at home nursing assistance since he will be on oxygen. We don't know how long he will need it but we'll only have the overnight nursing for about 2-3 weeks, just to help us adjust and make sure we are comfortable.
His eye exam last monday went great! The left eye was the same and the right eye had gotten better so the Retina Specialist said the chances of surgery were low.
He might have a hernia, we'll find out more about this this week. If he does require surgery for that, it will be at a later date when he is more stable.

So now for the good news...he is coming home this week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I talked to the dr today and she said as long as the eye exam goes well tomorrow he will be home by Friday!!!! If not sooner!
Jamie and I are going to spend the night at the hospital Tuesday and Wednesday. They have a special room for babies and parents to stay in right before they go home. The dr said we could start tomorrow but we are honestly not ready at home!LOL This is earlier than we expected, so we're going a little crazy!

We are so excited, can not believe that after all this time Henry will be coming home. As of last night he weighed 6lbs 14oz, they haven't weighed him yet tonight.

Gotta go, lots to do. OMG, we're having a baby!! LOL ;)
