We're home...

After much debate by the doctors on Tuesday, we were sent home at 6:30 p.m.  Before being discharged they set Nicolas up with portable oxygen and the Respiratory Therapist trained me to pat his chest in certain areas to help break up the congestion.  Nicolas did fine on the way home and seems to be doing fine here at home.  If for any reason things seem worse we are to return to Riley.  Nicolas will stay on oxygen 24 hours a day for three weeks.  Then he has an appointment for an overnight sleep study at the Clarion North location.  That will tell us whether or not he still needs to be on oxygen and whether or not he needs his tonsils/adenoids taken out.  He might need them taken out because if he is floppy on the outside then he may be floppy on the inside and those may be obstructing his breathing.  We will find out the results at an appointment with the Pulmonologist on Monday following the sleep study. 

It is good to be home!

Love,
