One foot out the door!

A lot has happened around here since Sunday!  Axton passed his hearing screen, he was circumcised, and we have completed all other requirements for discharge except for that pesky little car seat test.  They tried the test yesterday and little dude failed it pretty quickly.  They must sit in their car seat for 2 hours and not desat below 88, or have any bradys.  Axton has had some issues with desatting, so of course, this is the one thing holding us here.  He is great when he is laying down or being held, and hardly ever desats while feeding anymore, but the position the car seat puts a little body in, is not the most conducive for optimal oxygen saturation.

So, we wait.  I'm not sure if they will retest today, or wait until tomorrow.  We were so hoping we would be outta here yesterday or today, but little man is holding out on us.  It's hard to be patient when this marathon of a journey seems to never end.  But we know that he'll be ready when he's ready and so will we! 

If only he knew how great it would be to go home ;)
