Unofficial word

So..today we received good news. The nurse told us that the theophylline is out of Jaeden's system and that the pneumogram will most likely be done on Sunday into Monday. Ok, a pneumogram is a 24 hour recording of heart rate, respiration and O2 Saturation. Oxygen saturation is the percentage of hemoglobin saturated with oxygen. This will evaluate Jaeden's respiratory activity to confirm that Jaeden is ok with breathing well on his own and is clear to go home. We pray that he will pass the test and then we can move on to the next test, which is the car seat test. This test also looks for stable respiratory and heartrate patterns while Jaeden is sitting up in the car seat. So it looks like we are looking at Jaeden coming home before the end of next week. Whooo hoooo!!!!!!

I say Thank you to the Doctors and the Nurses at the NICU for the unofficial word that Jaeden will be home. This is a great Birthday Gift. He is not home but the news was surely great enough to make my day!!!!
