Our Son Is Home

What a blessing to have our son home today, and a very scary thought too!!!

Last night we roomed in at the hospital. We woke up every three hours, fed him, changed his diaper, burped him and laid him back in his crib. It was a test to see how he does without the nurses, and how we do without them. It was one of the longest nights we have ever experienced. Keaton didn't sleep well and kept grunting and moaning and making noises and we were scared that he was choking or spitting up and not able to turn his head to the side, or something was wrong. In addition to that we couldn't stop looking at the monitor for his heart the entire night. And it went off three times saying his heart rate was over 250 beats per minute and once saying it was under 60 beats. So we were a wreck.

Took Keaton back to NICU this morning for his discharge review. Found out the four alarms were false so that was comforting. And they think he probably was struggling to sleep because it was dark and quiet and he is use to a lot of noise with a lot of lights. So tonight we will try his sound machine and see if the white noise helps, and will use night lights and see if that is enough to make him feel more comfortable and at ease.

Thank you everyone for your prayers for this day. We are so blessed to have Keaton home and doing well and praying that McKenna can come home soon.
