We got home around 2:30. Samuel has been sleeping most of the time and has been doing very well. The car ride home went very well. Daws spent most of the time holding Samuel's car seat to make sure "he's ok." We met with our home medical equipment guy to set everything up and we also met with the home nurse. We've got "check nursing" which is where she just stops by once a day in the morning to see how he's doing. We have appointments with 9 different doctors over the next couple weeks.
Leaving the hospital today was a mix of emotions. We were definitely excited to leave, but sad to leave all the staff that has helped us to get to the this point. We were blessed with an amazing team that fought this journey thus far. Thank you Memorial Health Care Team! They all have been part of our lives for the past 6 weeks. It was hard to leave them...but at the same time, it was like a sweet victory! We are still just in awe that Samuel is home. Samuel, our little baby, that "had no hope" is now sleeping in his little bed in his little room in our home. Wow!! God is so good.
We have a lot of adjusting to do. Please pray for us. It is going to be hard and challenging, but definitely worth it. Dawson is having a hard time as well. I assume this is normal when a new baby comes home, but Samuel requires a lot more attention than a "normal" baby. With that, just pray we find a way to balance things out and still give attention to Dawson. Also pray for Jeff and I-it is going to be stressful.
Oh...and when we came home today, my bible study wonderful ladies had put a sign on our door with ballons saying "Welcome Home". Welcome Home... can you believe it? Thank you girls! Thank you God. May God continue to be glorified!

Congratulations! What a huge milestone. We'll continue to send thoughts and prayers your way. May you truly enjoy Christmas at home with your two boys!
What a great report! We were thinking about you all day today at work. I love the picture of the family. It's great to see Samuel in your arms and not all wired up in the hospital crib.
Praise God from whom all blessings flow! Congratulations Jeff and Kristy on this important milestone in Samuel's life! I am so happy for your family and send all my love from KY to Colorado! Will continue to pray for your family and know that we love you all!
So happy for all of you! Here's a verse for you --
"I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in Him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13 NLT
Looking at your smiles it's clear that you are all "overflowing with confident hope". Praise God for all the blessings!
Can't tell you how excited I am for you!! My WyldLife team prayed for you guys this morning and then I came and read this! Praise the Lord!!

Congratulations to you all! I am so happy for all of you. We will continue to pray for all of you as I can imagine it is still going to be extremely difficult. Thank you both for sharing this amazing journey with all of us. Take care and may God continue to bless all of you.
WAHOOO!!!! I can't believe it! How exciting! Stuff with Dawson is so normal. He will get in routine, just takes time. God is SO SO SO GOOD! Thanks for taking the time to post, I know it could easily be forgotten, but it is fun to be able to watch and pray!
yay! what a great Christmas present!
