One of the doctors just vetoed Wilson's trip home. We're sorry for any perceived false alarms but we really thought Wilson would be coming home today. Chris spent the night at the hospital and Morgan's mom put up balloons and signs at the house. We had the green light until about 20 minutes ago when one of the doctors decided it was best to continue monitoring Wilson's weight gain from the NICU. Wilson also received an eye exam today and the doctors want to watch his response to that as well.
Sure, we're a little disappointed but we would much rather bring Wilson home when he is ready instead of rushing him home because we are ready. Such is the emotional roller coaster of the NICU.
We know/hope we will bring him home soon and that is all that's important. (Although it would be great to get him tomorrow so we can re-use the balloons . . . just kidding . . . sort of)
I can't believe your journey so far. Kids always throw you surprises, but you guys have had a bunch! We keep praying for Clara and for Wilson. I am so excited that they are continuing to grow and develop...Wilson looks adorable as he gets ready for his "trip"! I am thrilled that Wilson has made so much progress that he could arrive home before his due date! God is watching over you all!
