We will be leaving PICU with Nathan in the next couple of hours! We are just finishing up some last minute paperwork now. Obviously, things will be a bit different from when we left NICU. Nathan will be going home with 4 additional prescriptions, bringing his grand total to 10. One of those is a shot that Steph or I will have to give 3 times a week. He will also be going home with an NG tube. This will allow him to get some slow overtime feeds. This will supplement what we are bottle feeding him every 3 hours. The plan is to slowing transition off the overtime feeds and back to just bottle feedings.
We will also have some in-home healthcare that will help supply the medical equipment we need and will have on-call nurses if we need assistance. They will also have a nurse that comes out 2-3 times a week to check on Nathan and make sure there isn't anything we need.
Please continue to pray for Nathan. Also pray that Steph and I can give him the best care possible.

continuing to lift you guys up. Kyle I think God brings us special songs to remind us He is with us. So keep listening to that music.
I know this is all overwhelming but you guys are doing a great job because you both love Nathan so when you question yourself on something you are doing in his daily care remember that even if it isnt exactly like the nurses do it you are fine!! love you guys pennye
