Nixon had his sensor removed at about 2 am so he was finally comfortable for awhile. It was a 12 hour test so we are glad that is over. Kandis was released from the hospital at about 8:30pm so she came home took a shower and changed into normal clothes. The hospital suggested that she stay in one of the complimentary rooms reserved for ICU patients parents and especially since she is nursing they could just walk down the hall and wake her up. We jumped at the chance to use those rooms so Nic and Kandis spent the night at the hospital last night and will do so again tonight. The Pediatrician came in and read the results and said it was inconclusive enough to not say that reflux is the cause of the problem. Soooo they said they want them to be trained on the monitor and learn baby CPR before going home and they will send Nixon home some time tomorrow with a monitor for a month. Also he will be taking some kind of medication for acid reflux for a month just to be sure that he will be OK. They have classes today at noon and again at 6:30pm and then will be sleeping next to him with the monitor attached for a minimum of 8 hours so they know they are confident with the set up to take him home. They will be required to sleep in the same room with him at night for a month so if you know how small their rooms are that will be fun!! We just hope all goes as scheduled today and he continues to get better. He has maintained his weight and counts so that is in his favor. He just gets cuter and cuter and when he gets home I will post some more pictures with out all the stuff on him. He is a real chow hound but what do you expect if you didn't get any food for the first 24 hours of your life!! Thanks again for all of your support and prayers in their behalf. We feel all of your love and appreciate it.

That is scary but good to have to know that info before going home. And really good that he is able to go home. Hopefully everything goes well and that he will get better. Poor guy. Can't wait for the pictures!
We stayed the night in one of those very rooms when Brayden had to go back to the hospital when he was jaundice. We also are familiar with those breathing monitors. Lots of experience with those with Andrew. I'm sure he'll grow out of this crazy thing and be just fine. We're keeping them in our prayers.
