WOAH. Let's just say that preparing for discharge could possibly be more overwhelming and stressful than being admitted. Although nothing compares to that very first day Jett and I were separated the day he was born.
So far....
Jett has passed:
-newborn hearing test
-oxygen test
-car seat trial
-eating 100% by bottle (working with an LC for breastfeeding at home)
Mom & Dad has passed:
-Giving all 5 medications including 1 shot properly and on time. (Yes, the shot sucks!)
-CPR/First Aid and the Heimlich Maneuver for infants.
-How to properly install car seats and adjust car seat according to Jett's growth.
-Shaken Baby Syndrome and avoiding it at all costs (what to do when baby won't stop crying)
-Have oxygen tanks installed at home and know how to use them
-Stretching Jett's neck and shoulder muscles everyday as a part of his Physical Therapy
And lastly,
-We passed our 4 month long NICU journey!
Diaper bag and oxygen is packed so bring on the baby!
Tomorrow shall be a bittersweet day, but it cannot come soon enough...

I came home from my last night of work last night and came home to a little surprise in Jett's room.
Thanks Grandma Wilson
