I guess that's why they call the NICU a roller coaster

Well, Collin didn't come home today. Bummer. For as excited (and pleasantly surprised) we were to hear he had progressed so quickly over the last few days, we are equally as deflated today that we can't bring him home yet.

We got a phone call from the NICU about 45 minutes before we were going to go pick him up - he had a little breathing episode (meaning, lack of breathing) this morning that they were concerned about. The difference this time around is that it wasn't just "forgetting to breathe" (apnic, I think think they call it), but rather he just had a stuffy nose so he couldn't breathe for a little bit. So they drew some blood to test for a virus, etc. to see if he's a little bit sick... so it looks like he'll be staying for a few more days.

Yes indeed, I would say we are pretty disappointed. But we have reminded ourselves that it's better this sort of thing happened before he left the hospital. He's in good hands there, and they are better equipped to observe & help than we would be at home.

So we'll continue to pray for him that he can get over whatever he might have, and get back to eating well so we can bring him home soon!
