We're home! It wasn't looking like we were going to be earlier today. The resident on duty decided that Caiden would stay one more night when they made their rounds this morning because they still had him on oxygen. Jennifer told them that he has oxygen at home so if that was the only reason they were keeping him, then we could take care of that at home. They decided he could go home, but needed oxygen for the trip home. So we had to wait several more hours for them to get an oxygen tank so that we could take him home. He was released just in time for rush hour traffic. He was excited to get in his own car seat to go home. He slept most of the day, and slept most of the way home. But he's home! He is sporting a trach, a 1/2 size bigger than the one he got when he was only 4 lbs.! It is safer for him now. He doesn't go back for a E.N.T. check up until July 25th.
