Yesterday we took all the tubes, monitors and PICC line out. The only thing he had left was the feeding tube (which I personally placed into his nose to his stomach). He was finished feeding and it hit me - I can disconnect the feed line and carry him around. Some Seattle friends of ours were visiting and Drew was in a waiting room with them I proceeded to very casually (with the biggest grin ever) walk in unattached to polls or monitors - What an incredible feeling! Libby and Melissa were also visiting and I am not sure which one said it but they called him the Wi-fi baby :-).
Last night we continued with the bollus feeds and Henry, my little superstar ate each of his bottles on his own therefore the pump was not needed.
I asked our nurse what the chances were that we would get discharged today (yesterday they prepared us for a weekend discharge) as opposed to tomorrow and she said she is going to recommend it highly. She said there is no reason at all to keep him and we should be allowed to go home and be a family. Her stand today is to be our advocate for discharge. I almost kissed her but refrained and just told her I love her :-).
Below is a picture of George in his chariot that Libby drug around from park to park yesterday. They had a beautiful Seattle day to enjoy and George had a blast. Libby didn't seem worn out at all but she may just have a good "poker face" :-). Thanks again Libby!!!!

Yippee for Henry!!! I am in awe that he is doing so well- what a trooper! Obviously he is ready to be home! The picture of George "eating" his stroller strap is hilarious given your current goal to get your kids attachment free :) Safe travels to you. I can't wait to meet Henry and hug the two of you- what strong, positive parents you are!
