Coming home?

A quick update:  Micah should be coming home tomorrow (Tuesday)!  He did not do well without oxygen this morning, so we are preparing to have him home very soon!  We were under the impression that we could take him home tonight if he didn't pass, but, today, the doctor said she'd feel "uncomfortable" with us going home tonight.  She nearly required us to "room-in," or stay overnight in a private, hotel-like room in the NICU.  The benefit of that is we'd have nursing support with Micah's monitors and oxygen, and get any kinks ironed out. 

The downside for us is that it is just another night that our kids are away from home, and more time in the NICU for us.  Levi more than likely has an ear infection (I'm taking him in an hour), and hasn't been sleeping well.  It's also disheartening when Alena asks me everyday who is coming over or whose house she's going to that day.  Thankfully, Eric's parents have been extremely generous with watching our kids and have taken them last-minute countless times!! 

Hopefully, I can post more details soon, but I just wanted to get our new info out there :)
