Daddy's Birthday Gift!

Today my husband turns 27. I have known him since he was 18 and I have to say he just keeps getting better with age!
He truly is my best friend! He would do anything for me, his family, my family, our family, etc. He is also one of the hardest workers I know, and I have always loved how much patience he has in whatever he does. (Especially patience with me) 
 Happy Birthday to the best husband and father around!
Kyle is going to get the best birthday present ever today! Today Carter man comes home! Yayyy Carter. 

The doctors today are confident that his issues were due to prematurity, Zoloft withdraws and a bit of pulmonary hypertension. (which resolves over time)

Signs of pulmonary hypertension may include:
A rapid breathing, hypoxia (low oxygen level in the blood)

All Carters tests came back normal. Yes he has some faster breathing episodes, it mainly is now after he eats, which doctor said can be normal because he is a bit premature. His lungs, diaphragm and heart all look good, so with that being said this could also just be the way Carter breaths for now. When his fast breathing does occur, Carters Co2 levels do not drop anymore which is good. His blood gasses (How much oxygen is in the blood) were in the 40's and 50's which are normal. All in all doctors feel we have exhausted every option and are confident in sending our little guy home as am I!!
