He is Home!

After 6 weeks in the hospital Nicholas is finally home.

5 shunt revisions
1 Externalization
1 Broviac
1 Port
1 GI scope
Diagnosed with EE
Found a gallstone
3 new medications
Temporary feeding tube
And no cochlear implant

He has done so well eating by mouth today that we haven't had to tube any feedings. A home health nurse is available to put the feeding tube back in if he pulls it out and she will also flush his port once a month. Friday he gets his last Synagis shot and his sutures removed. Monday he has his 15 month well visit with the pediatrician, only a month late. PT, OT, and speech will start again next week.
