Heading Home Again

We're heading home today. Jereth will need continued airway support when he sleeps, but can be without it while awake. We'll use the oxygen monitor to decide when we can decrease the air flow and when it needs to be increased.

We'll be following up with the cardiologist on the 10th, but according to the PICU doctor the echocardiogram (ultrasound of the heart) showed that the hole in the atrial wall is decreasing, but the bigger hole in the ventral wall is the same size. Dr. Walker should have something more about a date for the surgery when we see her. I'm hoping it will be a definite date, but won't be too surprised if there is still more "wait and see".
