The day that would never happen

Samuel is experiencing circumcision on the 40th day instead of the 8th (please see Genesis 17) today and we hope that goes well. He has been doing great and loves to be held and cuddle. The hospital actually has volunteer cuddlers that hold him while Kristy and I can't be there.
I had the privilege of doing the "car seat walk" yesterday, which is where they check the car seat to see if it is compatible with his trach and him reclining enough. We are doing overnight stays on Friday and Saturday night where we are completely responsible for his care for 48 straight hours, and he'll be coming home after 45 days.

The day that would never happen is happening on Monday. We thought that his homecoming would be the heavenly type, but now we are truly blessed that he will be coming home with us on Monday. God is good and we have already experienced more than we could have imagined.
