Finally released!

October 15, 2007

Cadence has been officially released! She passed her car seat test with flying colors this time. I was holding my breathing for three hours. On the way home I have to sit in the back seat with her, so in case she does stop breathing I can administer CPR.

We have to see the eye doc to check her ROP before we leave the hospital. I hope the ROP has stopped, she’s at a stage 2 in one eye and the other is still considered premature. Since her retina could detach quickly, we have to take her to see the eye doc once a week. It’s difficult finding pediatric ophthalmologists that are qualified to check her for ROP. The closest doc we could find is in Springfield, which is a good two hour drive from our house. I’m worried about her being in the car seat for that long, but she could go blind if she isn’t checked regularly.
