Home!!! & Visitors

We're home!

After a very busy morning and lots of follow-up tests on our sweet baby, we were given the OK to go home Friday afternoon! We are so happy our sweet boy was able to come with us! We had such a fun assortment of cards and flowers and balloons to take home with us too- thank you to everyone who sent us something to brighten up our little hospital room!

Because our sweet baby boy spent time in the INICU, several things have gone differently than we had planned. We were told by our doctors to wait to have visitors until the weekend of April 24 & 25 when our little one will have had time to adjust to being home. His respiratory rates in the first days have the doctors wanting us to be extra careful about keeping things low-key and making sure Newbie is eating well and getting plenty of rest, and avoiding others' illness. We are doing a lot of hand washing around here! Luckily, this works out well for his parents too, as we have had about 8 solid hours of sleep since Monday night. Yikes! We're slowly but surely playing catch-up and finding our feet when it comes to sleeping and nursing, so we're hoping we'll be ready for visitors next weekend or the week after. There's just so much to juggle with a little guy who had a rough start! If you'd like to come meet our little snuggle bug, give us a call next weekend and we'll try to find a time that works to share him with you all. He's got a long line of sweet friends wanting to give him a good snuggle. =)

I have got to go take advantage of some down time while our little one is zonked out- we are all so exhausted around here, it's a wonder we managed to make a pot of coffee this morning. =) Thank you again for all of your prayers! We are so grateful for your generosity and concern for our son. God has certainly answered the prayers we lifted up, and we are so happy that our little guy is feeling better!
