Shocking news \u2013 the muppets are still in the hospital. If you\u2019ve ever stopped and wondered, \u201cHmm, I wonder how long it takes for preemie parents to reach extreme levels of frustration,\u201d allow me to enlighten you. The answer is seven and a half weeks.<\/p>\n
This week was a particularly difficult one for me. The boys are still doing very well. They\u2019re growing and getting ready to come home via the slow and steady method. But they\u2019re still swinging up and down with their oxygen saturation. This was the first potential week that we may have seen the boys homeward bound. Guess what isn\u2019t happening?<\/p>\n
To be fair, I never really thought they\u2019d be home this week \u2013 I thought they\u2019d be home next week. Ever since we learned double trouble was upon us, I\u2019d expected to bring them home in late July. But I did expect that perhaps they\u2019d be completely sans nasal cannula and holding a steady saturation level (of 97-100 percent).<\/p>\n
