HOME SWEET HOME!

Elijah is home!! We were finally able to bring our boy home. It is such a comforting feeling knowing he is down the hall in his room where he is suppose to be and not in the hospital anymore. The only downfall is there is no nurse call button!

The nurses at the St. Vincent hospital NICU were awesome. As difficult as it was to be there at times they made it as comfortable as possible. They were excited for us to have Elijah come home, but some were sad he was leaving...he became one of their favorites!

He is comfortable in his own room, in his own bed. He thought mom & dad did an awesome job decorating his room complete with a 6' tall Brett Favre phathead poster...not kidding! It will be an adjustment period for us, but a welcomed one! If you are in the neighborhood stop over and meet him...we just ask you call first!

  3. So glad to hear that you finally have your family complete. Chris and I (and the girls) can't wait to meet him. Maybe this summer we will be able to all get together. Please know you are in our thoughts. We have a little outfit for Elijah and I will say....Chris picked it out. I had NOTHING to do with it! I'll get it in the mail soon. Take care and keep us posted.
