Home or bust.....

WE ARE GOING HOME! After all these tests we finally found the problem, Dax has severe sleep Apnea at night which is easily fixed by a small amount of oxygen. The test was done last night for 12 hours and it found that he is dropping his oxygen 83 times an hour and dropping 10 times they consider bad so they think that for the most part he just needs to grow and should be healed by his due date of August 15Th. For now we will go home with oxygen and his NJ tube for his feedings for a little while. We will do another sleep study in a few weeks to check his progress. I will update with pictures tomorrow! AGAIN thanks for all you love and support and keeping us in your prayers.
