My poor little one and daughter....it's been such an up and down week for them (and me too).

They were supposed to come home from hospital yesterday but the ped doc wouldn't release little Kouhen. Two reasons, first is that he had a rough day on Thursday....wasn't latching on to feed well and he didn't pass the car seat test. His breathing wasn't good enough We think that since he is a preemie, his little neck muscles aren't up to strength yet, so as he sat in the car seat, his breathing was a bit impaired. He was also a bit more jaundiced on Thursday night. Friday he looked better and had a more quiet day although still not latching on well.

It's so hard to look at this little guy born at 8lbs 12oz and consider him a preemie....but that's exactly what he is. So, daughter was released from care yesterday but Kouhen wasn't. Luckily, they allowed her to stay in the same room for the night, as they could have had them leave the room since she was no longer the patient. Kouhen would have gone back to the nursery and she would have had to stay in there for feeding times etc, with no place to sleep.

We are keeping our fingers crossed that today is the day he comes home.....we sure could you some positive thoughts and prayers if ya'll are up to it

Thanks!!!
