We didn't plan for this to happen

Going Home Tomorrow--Maybe?

October, 2007

Cadence has been moved to a private room, and she is going to be released tomorrow. She has one more hurdle to cross, the car seat test. Sometimes when preemies are seated in an upright position, their head will loll forward and they can stop breathing. Since our trip home will take three hours, she has to prove that she can stay in her car seat for three hours without any breathing difficulties.

The nurse says we’ll administer the test today. I’m hopeful, because she has been doing so well.

Yesterday we took the CPR class. I was glad to take it but I really hope I never have to use the training.
