Day 69: Counting down the days

We hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

We're hoping and praying that baby Frankie stays on this path! If so, the zoo is in the very near future! Tomorrow morning at 8am, Frankie gets his last dose of steroids. They will then watch him for a couple of days, just to make sure that he doesn't go into a PPHN crisis and need something we can't provide him with at home. I have a good feeling that he will do just great without his roids!

There are no new changes with him today. He is spitting up much less. Actually at a normal baby rate at this point. Frankie had lots of visitors today and was worn out this evening! Granny Sue, Aunt Beth, Hannah, Asiah, Brad and Amber came for a visit today! Frankie is one popular dude! Tomorrow will be a busy day too, as everyone is saying their goodbyes before heading home early Sunday morning.

Joe and I have watched our videos that we are supposed to watch before heading out. On Tuesday, we are taking the CPR class and we have brought in Frankie's car seat so that he can do his car seat test. They will put Frankie in his car seat and monitor him for an hour to make sure that is stats remain high. They will also figure out the best way to put him in it since he has a big 'ol belly! Other than that, we should be ready to go! We do have the option of staying in the FPU for one night before heading out. This is a room where Joe and I would stay the night with Frankie. It's to see if we can handle it at home but have the nurses here just in case something was to happen. Not sure if we're going to do that or not. We still have to talk about it.

You must wash your hands before touching Frankie! With soap and water. And if you don't feel well or have been exposed to sicknesses, please avoid him for a bit! MUCH appreciated!

The Christmas lights are officially up and running! Frankie is going to LOVE looking at them! He's a fan of lights! Ah, can't wait! So thankful for this little man.... he's such an amazing, amazing gift!!

Love to you all!!!
