Marmy,

i don't blame you for wanting your little guy home asap.
I brought a foster baby home on oxygen and an apnea monitor. At first I was scared of her cords and what if the monitor went off type of thing. After one day I realized it was no big deal.
Is the eating your son's only reason for remaining in the NICU? I don't see that as something you cannot manage at home. My NICU was prepared to send my baby home with a feeding tube (along with everything else) but luckily she started eating from a bottle a couple of days before release date.
You may want to call your pediatrician and get his advice and perhaps a note from him stating he is capable of taking on continuing care with you, something like that.
Good luck, I hope your baby is home soon.
