Officially Homeless!

We got off to an early start this morning. Krista, Claire and I got to the hospital at 7:45, to have a quick visit with Kelson. He had a restless night, so he was fairly sedated when we got there. We were there for about 45 min, and then headed north for the house closing. We took Claire to Miss Marys for one last day there. After a quick stop by the house, for a last minute walk through, we went to the bank. The closing went extremely smooth, and we were done in about 20 min. It will be sad to leave behind our church and friends in the Piper City area, but we are excited to start a new chapter in our life.

After the closing, we took some checks to our bank, and stopped by to visit with Kristas boss. Then we grabbed a final lunch at Ne's Place and picked Claire up from the sitter.

When we got back to the hospital, the doctor was getting ready to re-examine Kelsons chest drainage tube, and potentially put a new one in. When he took the bandages off, he discovered that the suture was no longer holding and the tube had migrated out some. He pulled the tube out, and decided to wait to put a new one in. This was shocking to Krista and I. If everything continues to stay on course, they may not need to re-insert the tube. We were told not to be surprised if it goes back in, but so far, so good! This means we might get to be even more hands on time. However, he needs to be weaned off the Jet ventilator before we can actually hold him. His feedings have been increased again to 10 mL an hour.

All in all it was a really good day. Hopefully things continue and we have a good 3 week birthday tomorrow!
