Well after a long sleep study and a car seat study our sweet girl isn't coming home just yet. Sigh. She had what's called periodic breathing which is where she holds her breath then breathes fast to catch up. After she does this her oxygen saturation drops. :( A breathing baby is necessary for her to come home. We like breathing baby... right now the doctors have said that we will re-test in 3-5 days. If she fails again then they will consider sending her home on caffeine and or an apnea machine. We really hope for that not to happen.
Good news however because she is growing they took the tube out of her nose so the only wires/tubes she has are monitors! Check out our beautiful sleepy chunk! She weighs 5.8 lbs!
We will update more in a few days when we repeat the test. Tomorrow we take our discharge class and meet our pediatrician Thursday. Busy week for us we just need to give our sweet girl a little more time! Keep the prayers coming.
PS we have had 10,140 views at this point. Please feel free to share our story. If Caroline's story can help one family fighting a similar fight or do something positive for just one person we are happy to share!
xoxo,
Casey, Tom and Our Sweet Caroline
