Side note: in the night, the nurse had put on a onesie that said "see you later, alligator" in honor of our approaching discharge. He had it on all of 15 minutes and spit up ALL over it. Then, during the car sent test over night, he had to keep his oxygen above 93. The nurse told us he was at 91 or 92 the entire time! Little stinker...perhaps he was telling us something!
After breakfast, we went back up to hang out with Thad. Wade's parents left Friday night, and my parents were taking the kids back home today to try to get them back in somewhat of a routine before we came home... No use in us all being tired and cranky! The family room wasn't open yet, and we had to check out of our room every morning so it could be cleaned and used for resting in the afternoons, so we didn't have many options...plus it was nice to just sit with Thad and enjoy some quiet together (other than all the monitors and baby sounds around us! Ha!)
As we were sitting, we saw our doctor down the way visiting with a nurse. He saw us, immediately excused himself, and came down to talk to us. He explained that he felt he was rushing us out and wanted to give us more time to be comfortable with Thad, to not have to rush through the teaching parts, and to give Thad more time since he hadn't passed his car seat test (come to find out it was an issue with the angle of the car seat, as he later passed with flying colors). He said if we really wanted to go home Sunday we could, but they don't round or anything on Sundays so would be best to wait until Monday. We were disappointed but understood. And were glad for a less rushed day. We even had time for a nap in the resting rooms later!
The day was fairly uneventful after that. Always be thankful for uneventful in a hospital!
