Esias playing on a floor mat Saturday night. He was on steroids and had to get down and play! He was looking much better at this point.
A little groggy this morning, but so cute. The only small size gown they had was pink. He just can't get away from wearing pink.
Daddy and Esias watching TV this morning. We loved University of Iowa Children's Hospital! The nurses were good (except for the overnight nurse with the extra loud voice!).
We got discharged this morning (Sunday) and we were everso glad to be home. Esias literally had glee in his eyes when he saw the family room. It occurred to me that he might have thought we were actually living there! I think he was relieved when we left.
So here's his health update. He's breathing MUCH easier. Quieter and less strained, it seems. Feeding-wise, we are still having some issues. He is still having some mild to moderate aspirations, though he seems to do a good job getting it back out of his lungs with some strong coughs. We are thickening the formula with rice cereal now and that seems to help (though he is a little perplexed about why it isn't coming out of the nipple more quickly).
We follow up with Oto in three weeks. In the meantime, he is on some Augmentin and Prilosec (for reflux) and just Tylenol for the pain.

Yay! So glad you are all home, and that things went well. I will keep praying for the aspiration problems, but it's good to hear the breathing is sounding better. Love to you all.
I'm glad you are home and that Esias is reassured that his home is still his home. :)Continuing to pray as he's on this road to full recovery!
So happy for you guys! You continue to be in our prayers.
