Me & My Monitor

I've been home now for 3 weeks and I'm doing great! I came home with a smart monitor which alerts the household (in an obnoxious squeal) when I have an apnea episode or heart rate acceleration or drop. Up to this point, I've only had 6 alarms and I've resolved all of them on my own. My last one was 10 days ago...I think I'm growing out of these events.

The infant apnea center manages my equipment and will download my data monthly. They anticipate that I will use this 2-3 months, at least past my first set of immunizations and until I can be alarm free for 1 month.

The bonus is I get to wear this superhero belt around my chest...I think it's pretty cool and mommy gives me breaks from it during the day so my skin stays nice and soft.
