The Family Comes Home

Aegean finally graduated from the NICU to join his sister and parents. We were trained to use the portable heart and breathing monitor before leaving. We learned that we will need the monitor for at least 1 month and likely up to 3 months.

We were expecting heart rate dips after experiencing several in the NICU. His apnea/bradycardia had improved significantly over the last 2 days in the NICU. We thought we were in the clear.

We haven't had a meal without a dip since he got home. We feel pretty comfortable with the alarms after all of the practice in the NICU.

We are happy to have the family together, and we are already comfortable with the monitor. Laura finally cut the bracelets (one for each child) from my wrist...
