Home sweet home...

After 8 days and 7 nights in 4 different rooms at TG, Jamie was discharged today!

A few minor developments since my last post.  Austin is still stable and doing great.  He was scheduled to start receiving some of Mom's breast milk today and was also further weaned on the ventilator.  He'll continue to have a breathing tube and receive some assistance from the ventilator for a while due to his airway issues. 

We also met with a geneticist today to discuss a few of Austin's 'features' in addition to the Pierre Robin and cleft palate.  I'll provide additional details in a later post, but there are no obvious signs of any major defects today.  FYI, Jamie did have an amniocentisis during her pregnancy and the results were negative for any major genetic defects like Down's.  More to come on this.

I posted a few of the pictures from Austin's delivery on my hosting site:
