Tying up the loose ends

As Friday approaches, Sutton has several hoops to jump through in order to break free. For the most part, he has successfully done everything that's been asked of him. 

(1) Car seat test (2 hours in a car seat without any major heart rate or oxygen saturation variations): Passed. 

(2) Circumcision: complete. 

(3) Remain stable after monitoring was removed: so far, so good!

(4) Hearing test: Passed for his left ear,  referred to audiology for his right. We were told that because of how the test works, his noisy breathing could have played a role in needing further testing. We're really not concerned - he passed on one side and startles appropriately.

(5) Results from the genetics profile: NEGATIVE! While we had assumed that would be the case, we are enormously relieved to find out that this was just a luck-of-the-draw sort of condition and not something we need to be concerned about with future children. 

His physicians are finishing up all of the paperwork, scheduling follow up appointments and touching base with our pediatrician. I think Friday is really going to happen!
