In order for Finn to come home from the NICU, he has to breathe on his own (without the help of oxygen) for 48-72 hours. He is going on 45 hours! He is doing his car seat challenge later today which is also a requirement to come home. What's the carseat challenge? The carseat challenge: He has to sit in his carseat for 2 hours oxygen free without any problems.
If his oxygen level drops any time during the 48-72 hours or during the carseat challenge, and after every attempt of getting him to go back up on his own; if his oxygen level doesn't go up, then he has to start the the time (breathing for 48-72 hours) all over again from zero hours.
He is close! If all continues to go well, he should be home by tomorrow evening at 7 or maybe earlier in the day. Yay!

We will pray for him! I so hope he gets to go home today. Henry failed his car seat test-he came home on oxygen. Will they let you do that? I hope he passes!
