Well that took a while, but we’re all home!
Brian is a little bit jaundice and the pediatricians wanted to make sure that was under control before he was discharged. Everything seems ok, so we got the go ahead to come home. We didn't get home until about 7pm, but we're happy to be spending the 1st night with all FIVE of us under the same roof.
Jennifer and Caroline were beside themselves to see Brian when we got home.
It’s a BOY!!

You may feel lightheaded, very tired, have shortness of breath, sweating and chest pain, and sometimes a distressing need for frequent urination (it isn't clear how A-Fib and frequent urination are related). Dad looks great and more tubes are being detached from him. Mom said he moved from the C-ICU this afternoon to a regular patient room on the 8th floor. He'll stay there until he is discharged, which could be Friday or Saturday.
