Yep, that's a real word. That is the name of the test they will conduct tomorrow. It will let us know about Caroline's oxygen needs for when she comes home. If all goes well, Caroline will probably be able to come home in 7 to 10 days.
Caroline has not gained very much weight the last few days. She was having to work a little too hard to eat. So, they are going to cut back her bottle feeding and give her food through the feeding tube a little more. That means that she will likely come home with the feeding tube for a short time. I think it sounds a little scarier than it really is... We would be nervous about putting it in, but it is apparently not that difficult and they will teach us. We have seen them set up the feeding tube so many times, I think I could do it right now.
We have CPR training on Friday. That is a little scary, but it is necessary. They installed our car seat today and gave Katie the rundown about car seat education. We are getting closer and closer to going home.
That is very exciting! Katie, maybe you could give me a car seat tutorial some time. Hope the test goes well and that the transition goes as smoothly as possible!
