Davis...master of the car seat challenge

Davis had the task of passing the "Car Seat Challenge" today.  He had to sit in his car seat for 1.5 hours, all locked in, while the nurse monitored his vitals every 10 minutes to be sure he was breathing well and getting enough oxygen while in that position.  In typical Davis style, he passed with flying colors and actually slept through the entire test.  WAY TO GO DAVIS!!!  So we can check off yet another goal towards going home.  The doctors have also officially signed off on discharging us tomorrow, so we're on our way.  We've been telling Davis all about home, his awesome dog Ella, and all the fun clothes that he has to look forward to.  After living in a diaper and swaddle wrap for the first 17 days of his life, I think he'll appreciate the coziness of clothes.  We'll be taking the feeding tube and oxygen with us, but don't foresee needing either for too much longer.  And, the grandmas made a fun discovery today that Davis has a dimple on each cheek!  Kelly and I each have one dimple, on opposite cheeks, so I guess we each gave ours to him.  :)  What a cutie.

Cutest kid I ever saw in a car seat! I think he already qualifies for the gifted and talented class!

He has been such a strong little guy, he knows that home is where the heart is. I bet he cannot wait to go to his house, what a wonderful and blessed journey Davis has been on. So glad he finally gets to go home. Dee
