Big Steps

Yesterday was a good day. Since Kennedy was so early she had to take a car seat test before they can send her home, so our daytime primary nurse decided we should go ahead and do the test yesterday since there has been so much talk about going home lately. She passed with flying colors of course! She did have a little help from monkey. She liked her car seat and was having a really good time checking everything out, but she fall asleep towards the end. I also spoke with the discharge coordinator about setting up the oxygen delivery and it looks like the insurance company is going to give us a portable monitor to take her home on. AND the same company who will deliver her oxygen will also be delivering her feeding supplies- which includes her formula. Since it is high density formula is is covered by insurance which is fantastic because it is so much more expensive than regular formula. So now we are just waiting for Kennedy to tell us she is ready to come home. Hopefully she will be able to nipple all of her feedings by this weekend. If not I will be learning to place her corpak on Monday. That's that lovely yellow tube that goes up her nose and into her stomach. Oh yeah I almost forgot! The corpak is now a NG instead of an NJ. That means she is finally able to take an entire feeding in her stomach instead of part of it going directly to her small intestine.
