whooooohooooo! early today we received a call from his pediatrician and, after consulting with the neonatologists, everyone decided that little odin could be unwired from the home monitor!

after 137 days of having one thing or another attached to his body, this is A Really Big Deal.

so, with a little cermonial flair, we removed the last visible evidence of the nicu days, which seemed to make little odin quite happy.
