and then there were two....

....days that is. The sheets are washed, onesies folded and put away, diapers and wipes are organized and ready to be used....because Thomas is coming home!!!!! We have a due home date of this Wednesday, August 8th. And as you can see from the pics below, Thomas is pretty happy about his upcoming change.

The little man is currently weighing in around 8 pounds, 1 oz, and is on 1/2 liter of O2. Thomas surprised all of us by being able to not only withstand being on 1/2 a liter, but flourishing on it. He had an amazing blood gas today http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arterial_blood_gas with a CO2 level of 42 - we had previously not seen him below 70. Without getting into all the details (we figure we're given you enough medical data by now), 42 is fantastic - especially for a BPD'er.

So TJCmom and dad are busy trying to catch up on 136 days of missed sleep....but we figure we won't really be caught up until Thomas goes to college. :)



We could not be more proud of our little guy. Please enjoy the pics and we'll keep you posted!






Thanks for sharing, we'll be back soon!
