After a grand total of 55 days spent in the NICU and ICN at Tacoma General, Austin was discharged today! Our room-in session went well last Sunday evening (except for the Mom and Dad sleeping part) and he exceeded his feeding expectations since being switched to on-demand feeds. We got setup with his apnea monitor and home oxygen this morning, signed a few papers, packed up his ample supply of breast milk and off we went. I'm a bit tired and we are adjusting to life at home, so I'm going to let a few pictures tell the story.
Austin's home in the ICN for the past 20 days
Settled in for the big ride

Our other 'kids' weren't too sure about the new member of the house.
Best news ever....so glad you are all home!
