HOME
We officially made it home. I can't begin to tell you how great it was to see him come through the door. He touched so many lives at the hospital but home is where he belongs. We are so exhausted and will need to catch up on rest so right now it is hard to fully enjoy the moment. What him coming home symbolizes is what we are so happy about. This journey started for us back in April and we were not sure from the start if we would be bringing a baby home. We have been to many doctor's appts, ultrasounds, sleepless nights and very stressful times. All that said I sit here typing this as the happiest and proudest father. We beat the odds and our family is complete. The doctor and nurse practitioner both told us today that he was their first baby to go on flolan, come off and go home. We have a fighter and can't wait to see what the future holds for him. If he does nothing else in life he will still have touched more lives than most people. Something tells me that he will continue to do great things and continue to amaze us. He seems to be happy at home and enjoying his new surroundings. LaVona and I would like to thank everyone for the outpouring of support for our family. You kept us going and gave us words of encouragement as well as donated money so that we could donate $8000 to CDH research. We won't forget a single thing that was done for us and will never be able to thank you enough. The journey is not over and we will certainly keep you updated. We have to get used to nurses in our house and it is a bit uncomfortable but we can get through this as well. Hope everyone has a great week and thanks again.

You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, that my heart may sing to you and not be silent. O LORD my G-d, I will give you thanks forever. Psalm 30: 11-12
