Well...we think we are there! If all goes according to plan, Carter should come home on Friday, May 9th! 39 days at Primary Children's Hospital and more than 1,750 miles in traveling as we visited each day. // Beverly Hills, CA to Milwaukee, WI //
Kristi is spending all day at the hospital to teach Carter how to eat from a bottle and to nurse. She is spending the night at the hospital tonight so she can get accustomed to his sleeping patterns in the wee hours of the morning.
We need to still have a hearing test, a car seat test, learn to place a NG tube, how to mix his milk 4:1 with a calorie supplement, how to properly administer his medicine, revisit proper CPR techniques, learn how to operate the feeding pump, and change out oxygen canulas. They will wait on the heart surgery until he has doubled his weight (approx. 16-18 lbs.) (maybe later this summer?)
If he comes home Friday, our first visit to his pediatrician should be on Monday.
Life is good and going to get better....
Thank you for your prayers, love and support. They have truly helped us and Carter get to this point.
Love,
Alan & Kristi
