Home Again, Home Again....

After 5 days in CHEO, Emma was finally discharged late this morning. She didn't need any supplemental oxygen last night, so the docs deemed her "good to go." She still has some nasal & chest congestion, but otherwise seems to be doing well... We'll watch her closely and if she has any trouble maintaining her sats., we'll bring her back, but hopefully that won't happen and she's home to stay.

While in hospital, we were able to get a consult with the ENT specialists (better than being on the months-long waiting list we were told to expect!) to check out the possibility of Emma having vocal cord damage. Unfortunately, due to her congestion, the docs weren't able to see her vocal cords during the scoping procedure today, so we'll have to go back to CHEO and they'll try again next week.

In other good news, we had another appointment with the ophthalmologist today and Emma's eyes now seem "perfect" There's no longer any evidence of R.O.P.!!! We'll be having regular follow-up appointments at CHEO to monitor her eyes (because Emma may be prone to other vision problems as a result of her extreme prematurity), but for now the news is very, very good!

Thanks for all your good wishes while Emma was in hospital. As always, they were very much appreciated!
