Is Milo home? I hope so!

No... not yet. I think I got some misinformation from the fill-in doctor. Milo's primary doctor was on vacation for a week and just got back on Monday. On Monday we spoke and she said that he was still having breathing issues... respiration still too high at times, so she said it wouldn't be until the end of this week at the earliest.

BUT... I talked to her again today and she said that he can be discharged "any time now"... so I think that means Thursday or Friday! DH and I are so confused at this point by the whole NICU deal... everyone tells us different stuff. So we might have Milo home tomorrow (Thurs) or might not. I actually think Friday makes the most sense because I've been sick for a week and still need my lactation training, and all the rest (have never handled a newborn before this), and would like not to be hacking up a lung around him when we bring him home. Saw the doctor today who told me I've got bronchitis. At least I'm starting to feel better, and he gave me antibiotics, just in case.

So we'll see... I'm excited to bring him home (washed some clothes, sheets, burp cloths and blankets tonight), but super nervous too!

Thanks for asking!

Aw, I'm sorry he's not home yet but glad they're taking such good care of him. Fingers crossed that his breathing stabilizes and he's home with you guys today or tomorrow!
