Oh the suspense

Last night when Glenn and I arrived at the hospital, Riley no longer had his feeding tube in. Man he's a gorgeous boy with no tube up his nose!!

Today when I got to the hospital, I was greeted with



In case you CAN'T tell, (I'm not sure why you wouldn't as they aren't identical:) ), this is Gavin with no tube either. Nurse "yanked it" this morning - her words not mine!

He had passed his car seat test, but looked so peaceful sleeping the nurse left him. Two hours she left him there and not one beep from his machine. Now he has no attachments at all. No feeding tube or monitoring!

After lunch it was Riley's turn



Who also passed with flying colors. He no longer is attached to anything either.
Once again I asked the nurse about bringing them home. She suggested that I/we (read - me), "room in" with them so that they (the nurses) are guaranteed that I will get up in the night. I told her that I had no problem with that, but if they weren't going to be released until next week, then I would do it then. She then said she would try and see if they could be released tomorrow, but had to talk to the doctor.

I had planned on waiting to talk to the doctor myself, but it started to snow once again and Glenn phoned and suggested that I leave sooner rather than later (which means go home now). The nurse said she would phone me once she spoke with the doctor and if nobody phoned me, that meant they weren't coming home until probably Friday.

So patiently I wait.....
