HE's HOME

Pierce Kent came home yesterday evening, a day earlier than planned after 209 days in the NICU! We are all very happy to have our baby twins in one house. I survived the first night with twins, very little sleep happening here. I will post more later

3 days before P comes home and now i have 3 sick kiddos

This day has turned into a nightmare. Lincoln is requiring way more O2 than normal, he wont eat, and has a fever. He is up to 3L and still satting poorly. I have tried everything to get it up past 85 and its not working. Madison has swollen tonsils again, and Kennedy is puking. Yep just what i needed

We have a discharge date!

Pierce should be coming home on wednesday. 2 days after presidents day...LOL. He had his g-tube surgery and did very well. He is doing well with all his feeds and we are all set to go home. He has passed his carseat test. The end is near, and he will be coming home 5 days short of 7 months in the nicu.

Its been awhile since my last post but nothing exciting has been going on. The girls have been sick but are back to normal. Lincoln is doing really well. He can roll over now! He also is getting close to coming off his O2. This past week he has done very well with keeping his sats up and not needing much O2. He goes back to see the plumo on the 27th.

We are seeing light at the end of the tunnel for Pierce. He has his g-tube surgery for the 11th and with any luck he will come home shortly after that. He is finally on Nasal cannula and doing good. He requires alot of O2 but that is to be expected with his lung conditions. This is the boy that not too long ago they thought he would need a trach to come home and he proved them wrong.

Its just been a crazy few weeks but we are at the end of our nicu stay hopefully!
