Malachi's oxygen needs are still trending upward (mostly). Today when Emerson and I came to visit, he was requiring 40% oxygen while he was awake. Usually when he is in a deep sleep, his heart rate drops and he may require even more. He must consistently be on under 40% to be discharged. All this to say, pray for a miracle. We want our baby home. We are SO CLOSE!
John does his 24-hour shift tomorrow starting at 8:00 am. After he completes that and I do the transport part of my training, we will have finally completed all of the training on our end to go home. Monday's discharge is officially postponed, but it is still possible that he'll be home next week. On Monday, we will be meeting with the cardiology and pulmonary teams to try and get a gameplan together with a new discharge date.
For those of you bringing meals next week... if you want to postpone to another day, that is fine, but if you want to keep things as is the meals will still be greatly appreciated!
That lil' stinker! Malachi, your mom and dad are SO ready for you to come home! Get better quickly so you can make it to you REAL home, this week!
