As good of a day as you can have in the hospital. Chase had a great night…all of his feedings were successful. They removed the feeding tube about an hour ago, and the good news keeps coming. Chase is sitting in his car seat as I type this. No, he is not going home today…the hospital runs a car seat test on its babies before they are discharged. The baby is loaded into his seat and gets to relax in it for an hour and a half; they closely monitor all his vitals to ensure that his seat does not put him in distress. That’s really important because his ride home tomorrow will be at least 2 hours long.
Yes Chase is going home!
Unfortunately we will have to come back in a few months for his surgery.
