Pulmonologist

Today David and I took Jack and Ella to the pediatric pulmonologist. The news was great... Jack is going to have his sleep study completed in the next couple of days which has three possible outcomes:

1. He passes with flying colors = he's off oxygen
2. He fails the test = another month of oxygen
3. He passes but barely = alternating use of oxygen (when feeding/sleeping)

Of course, we are praying for the first. The sleep study will basically be performed over the course of one night. Jack will have an oximeter strapped on, and the oxygen will be turned off. As long as Jack keeps his O2 level at the appropriate level then he's golden. The doctor seemed to think that Jack would be off sooner rather than later.

Ella also had an appointment, but she was a no brainer.

We also stopped by the NICU to visit - everyone was amazed at Jack & Ella's size! Jack is now 9 lbs 5 oz and Ella is now 8 lbs 7 oz. Wow!

We were on our way to see Dr. A's group but got stopped in our tracks by two hungry babies... we ended up feeding them in the hospital lobby. Ahhh parenthood.

Just a note to Debbie - we love you and hope all is well.
