1 more day!!!

Chris and I survived our first overnight with Chase. It got off to a rough start. He was very agitated and uncomfortable for a good two hours when we were trying to feed him. We had two nurses come in and try to help us console him. Chris and I kept looking at each other like how in the world are we going to do this by ourselves at home. It took nearly all four of us, one to hold the binkie, one to hold his arms and legs down, one to hold the tube feeds. We're doing what they call gravity feeds instead of using a pump, so we have to stand there and hold his feeds up until it all slowly runs in. Which isn't too bad unless he's moving all around. We ended up giving him some Tylenol b/c we thought his g-tube site was hurting him. That seemed to do the trick. So after the first couple ours it went great. All of his equipment and monitors that he'll go home on are pretty easy to use. Luckily he didn't set off any of the monitor alarms because they are deafening!!! We didn't get much sleep only because the smallest sound Chase would make we felt like we needed to get up and check on him. He really didn't need to be suctioned all that much overnight, and he slept great between feedings. So I think tonight will go even smoother!
Hopefully we'll get a good idea of our exit plan today. They tested him in his car seat for a good hour, and he did great. We received his stroller from the Fox 4 Love Fund that has shelves in back for all of his equipment. It's pretty snazzy! So ready or not, we'll all be home tomorrow!!! :) Oh, and we discovered room service delivers ice cream and sundaes!!! We were all over that celebrating our countdown!!!
