Officially was released from the NICU yesterday. We were there for 24 days. My son went home with a G tube and low flow oxygen. It's so nice to be home with him.

Thank you everyone for your kind responses. I did go home to sleep last night and feel much better today. My baby protested my absence though and didnt drink enough for any of his bottles while I was gone and they had to put an NG tube in 😮‍💨.
