Tuesday afternoon Logan finally made it home. We are so happy!!! He does have to have his feeding tube & feeding pump (which is on an IV pole) attached to him all the time so it is a little challenging moving him around, but I’m sure we will get used to that in a few days. It is a lot less stuff than he had on him at the hospital. They sent us home with a heart rate & oxygen % monitor too but we only use that when we cannot keep an eye on him like during naps & at night.
He made it through his first night home without any problems. One of the benefits of having the continuous feed on him is that he never wakes up because he is hungry. Instead we are woke up by the feeding pump alarm telling us it is empty every 3 hours, but that is better than a crying baby. He had his first bath at home last night. Kim wanted to get the hospital smell off him asap. I think it went pretty well. It is probably not going to be one of his favorite things to do but it was nothing compared to some of the other stuff he had to endure at the hospital.
