Today we spent time with Par then the four of us had a fantastic Christmas dinner in the hotel. Afterwards, Rusty and I stopped by to see Par on the way to mid-night Mass which was actually at 10:30pm. After midnight mass we went to wish Par a Merry Christmas and give him his first Christmas present. He was more interested in his bottle than he was the present.
Earlier, we met with the discharge coordinator--she gave us CPR lessons and lessons on how to give his medicine. We also tried o take him off oxygen today but it was just too soon--his saturations hovered in the mid-90's--they need to be 98 or better. So Par will be going home on oxygen. Par is still gaining weight--even with the breastfeeding--and with discharge in the future, they discontinued his fortifier that was in his bottle--hopefully he's getting enough calories now. It looks like Thursday or Friday is the big day...we'll know for sure on Wednesday.
When we returned to the hotel (1:30AM) we had dessert and opened presents with Sally and mom. Needless to say, it is WAY TOO LATE right now...around 3:30AM...We continue to pray for Par's friends and their families. Rusty and I wish everyone a Merry Christmas!
Love,
Liz, Rusty & Par
