How long will Alex and Mabry be in the NICU?

Today is Day 47 of what will probably be about 110 days in the NICU for Mabry and even longer for Alex.  

 The doctors said that Mabry may have been on a path to come home sooner but due to her septum being damaged/destroyed she will not be able to come home on oxygen because we would not be able to get the tubes in her nose.   So my understanding is she needs to be eating, growing, and breathing 21% oxygen before she is released.  Lot's of hurdles still to climb for her.

Alex had his vent settings turned down today (good) but so far his blood gas is higher and o2 settings are higher (bad).  My hope for him is that he can hold his gains today.

Mom is visiting today.
