Car seat challenge

The car seat challenge is a test Ciaran has to pass before he can come home. Basically he has to sit in his car seat for an hour and not suffocate or have heart problems. He passed with flying colors. Probably because he had studied his crib sheet. {cymbal crash} The nurse kept joking that she'd pass him the answers to the test so I made the crib sheet joke. She was thrilled. How is it that no one has made that joke before? Probably they have and this just demonstrates once again the greatness of the staff at the White Plains NICU.

If you can enlarge this picture enough you may be able to see his vital signs all going perfectly while he completes his "challenge" of sitting there.

And why are they doing this test?

Because he's coming home TUESDAY!!!

This little tidbit was buried in one of Chris' twitters, but indeed the doctors told us Tuesday is the day barring a very unforeseen happening. He's been doing great. We are thrilled.
