Transferring back to the old hospital :)

After ALOTTTT of thinking and praying and weighing the odds, we have decided to have Ian transferred back to his "home" nicu now that he is doing so well. He will remain there until his next surgery at which time he will come back to Children's Hospital. The Dr's and NP's have assured us that he is safe for transfer and safe to be cared for at the home nicu and if anything were to happen emergency wise, he'd just be immediately transferred back to Children's with no problems. Everything seems to be going good for now. His wounds from the incision dehiscing are smaller today and he's off of 3 of the antibiotics, pain med is cut in half, and his vent settings are much lower (same as posted yesterday). He is 4lb 11oz, such a big cuddly boy :) Held him again today for 2 hours. The nurse gave us a few outfits he can wear there that are like little t-shirts that open down the front for easy access to his abdomen and iv's and stuff. So our little guy will be taking his second ambulance ride tomorrow. I hope we are making the right decision, but i do feel much more at ease about it now than last week so i think we are.
