I'm almost afraid to say it for fear of jinxing it, but our little Drake is scheduled for discharge this Saturday! I met with the medical supplier today and signed off for his feeding pump, bags and accessories. Tomorrow his nebulizer should arrive for his home breathing treatments. We are thankful that he has done so well off of his cannula and he will not have to go home on oxygen. It is still hard to believe that in two more nights our little family will be together outside of the hospital walls!

Drake going home Saturday is more than a first down, or touch down. More like a bowl game!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe Drake's cheeks. Adorable. He's just filling out.
Wonderful news about Kennedy's eyes and I hope this weekend finds you home together at last!
Just click your heels together and you'll be there....there's NO place like home! What exciting news. Makes me even more excited that Brian will get to be there.
