Team Altman is coming home tomorrow!

Its been almost 2 months exactly since we welcomed Joshua into the world and watched him develop and grow strong in the NICU. Now its time for him to come home with mommy and daddy and we are so elated! The last couple days have been very busy with getting things ready for our stay with him at the hospital and preparing the house for our little bundle of joy. Joshua had a bradycardia two nights ago, but the doctors feel he is still ready to come home, so we will be coming home on a small monitor. Josh and I were trained on how to use and read it yesterday. The monitor will sound after 20 seconds of apnea or the second the heart rate drops below 70 bpm. It's dissapointing that he had another one on day 4 of the 5 day mark, but we will sleep better knowing he is safe at home. The doctors predict we will only need it for a couple weeks, because he should be grown out of them by now.
I will update everyone once we get home, but please continue to keep baby Joshua in your prayers. He has been through a lot in his first months of life, and we know the prayers we have received have helped his progression along the way. Thank you everyone! Much love.
