Let's Try this Again

I just talked to Henry's nurse and we are all systems go for discharge from the hospital tomorrow! Henry will be coming home on the tiniest whiff of oxygen to help his lungs continue to repair themselves after the virus from hell. I am BE-SIDE myself with excitement at having both my wee boys home.  It feels like baby Christmas over here today. I'll be up at the hospital tomorrow to take him home while David waits at home with Charlie. Speaking of young Charles, he's doing pretty well. He's had OT and PT this week and is making nice progress on holding his head, tracking and rolling. Charlie does not appreciate his new work schedule as he would prefer to lounge in his swing or my arms all day.  He had several appointments this week all of which went very well. His ROP continues to be under control. He's gaining weight and we are upping his feed volume every two weeks starting next week. I'm very pleased to say that Dr. Perfect Beard the neurosurgeon has said he doesn't need to see Charlie any more. This doesn't mean there aren't still issues with his brain, it just means it looks like we dodged the need for a shunt. We will do another update with pictures once Henry is home.
