I had a nice visit with Savannah this morning. Later in the day when I called to check in on her I was informed that she pulled off her Nasal Canula. The nurse decided to keep it off for a while to see how she does with her breathing. It is almost 10 pm and she still does not have it on. As you can imagine that is great news for us. The surgeon visited with her today to do some pre-op x-rays. Everything looks good and the surgery is still a go for Thursday.

CJ also had a very good day home with Chuck and Ashley. They took a walk around the neighborhood to get some fresh air. I think Ashley enjoyed it the most since Chuck let her ride her jeep around the block.

Savannah had a very good day and is doing well with her feedings. She is currently still on 2 bottles a day, but with less desaturations. The hospital staff is gearing up for her surgery on Thursday and has everyone in place for her recovery period. Her surgery will be a little more difficult than CJ's due to her breathing issue. However, we are confident that the staff will take good care of our little girl.

CJ had a very good night and Chuck and I managed to get a little sleep. We ended up having to take him to the doctors today because we thought he was having a post operative problem, but thankfully it turned out that we just over reacted. The good thing is we know his pediatrician will react quickly if we have an emergency which is very comforting to know.

Everything else is status quo.

After being in the hospital for 115 days we are thrilled to say that CJ is finally home.

Before bring CJ home we spent some quality time with Savannah. She is still doing well on her Nasal Canula and is still scheduled for surgery on Thursday.

Everything else is status quo.

Please continue to pray for our little Savannah so that she too can come home.

We had a very nice visit with the babies today. We were asked to bring in CJ's car seat so that he can be tested. The hospital requires that the baby be able to sit in the car seat for the time it would take to get home from the hospital. In our case he had to sit in the car seat for 1 1/2 hours. I was amazed how well he did. We also learned that they may be discharging him tomorrow, Sunday.

Chuck was able to give Savannah a bottle which she took very well. The doctors are really trying not to push her so that she can rest for her upcoming surgery.

We learned tonight that CJ may be coming home sooner than expected. He is doing so well that they can't justify keeping him in the hospital too much longer. It looks like he may be coming home Monday. We are extremely excited, but a little nervous that we both can't be at the hospital for Savannah's surgery on Thursday.
