Signal 94: Not Yet

Not Yet

We thought he was coming home today. Nope. The pneumothorax still has not healed completely and he is back on 100% oxygen.

Briefly:

2% of new borns will have it.
Boys are more likely to have this than girls (by a ratio of 2:1)

He's been in NICU for a week now. For the past few days our daughter has been staying at the hospital nursing him. The NICU has a crisis room that they let her sleep in. She'll be coming home today for a spell ... she sounds exhausted.
