Being Home.







It's been so wonderful to have Michael home.  It's been stressful and crazy and full of the monitor sounding as he attempts to stop breathing or have a very low heart rate but I love that he's here and not in the hospital.  We're starting to get into the swing of things.  We finally figured out the feeding tube pump and know more of what we're doing.  We have had the two older kids away at grandparents and friends' homes but I haven't experienced the having all four without Mike and no help aspect yet.  I'm a little terrified of the prospect but I know over time it will become more and more familiar.

haven't completely lost my marbles yet :)

Michael is definitely more comfortable at home.  He's now 7 lbs. 7 oz.  I'm hoping he'll go to the doctor's tomorrow or Tuesday at the latest.  Look forward to giving a good report.

In the pics, Michael is on the left and Ian is on the right.

How awesome to see!! How incredibly fun and encouraging to see you all together. To think they were both on the inside...weird I know! Hey, just fyi, someone told me to label all the pics I had to tell which one was which...now I can't remember when I look at pictures and have to look at the back. They look so alike to me and so precious. We are praying that Michael continues to get stronger and stronger every day.

I bet the boys are happy being back together too. Have they seemed to show signs of recognizing each other?

They are so beautiful and so are you. I love the look in your eyes. What joy! We are very happy for you. Rachael was on a monitor, and I know how stressful that can be. God is the one who sustains life, and you can rest in His love and sovereignity. Bless you and your whole family.

not sure if I've posted to you before, but I wanted to say congrats on having both boys home. I found your blog from www.ungrind.org and have been reading it for a little while. My husband and I used to live in Hampton Roads (Norfolk) and when you talk about going to Starbucks downtown I'm right with ya! I worked at Skees Family Practice over on 20th street beside the post office. The boys are handsome. Congrats.
