We were discharged from the hospital yesterday and the Ronald McDonald House didn't have a room available for us so we decided to come home and spend some time with our other children. We were really missing them. This is the longest we have been away from all of them at one time.
We were able to go in and see Michael before we left the hospital. I wasn't sure if it would be possible, but I didn't want to leave the hospital without Kim having a chance to hold Michael. I spoke with the nurse and the respiratory tech and they said, "We will make it happen." This made Kim's day as they placed him in her arms.
We did get confirmation back from the blood tests and Michael does have full Trisomy 18. He is still stable and BP and oxygen levels are staying where they need to be. He is showing some jaundice, but he does not need the light right now. Because of his heart condition, congestive heart failure is a concern. Thank you all for your continued prayers. We just thank God for each day we have with Michael.
