Nate is HOME!!!

So on Wednesday Nate had his feeding tube removed and we were told that if he took his bottles and gained weight over the next 48 hours, we could take him home on Friday.

Instead he increased his feedings on his own, chugged all his bottles and his weight gain was so good on Thursday he was discharged that day!!!!

So now we are HOME!!! And how wonderful it was to not have to get up and drag the family to the hospital this morning! It's 12:30pm and the kids are still in their PJ's (as they have requested) I think they just want to have a lazy play day at home...they have been troopers with all the back and forth and all that has been going on. They deserve a PJ day!

I just want to thank you all so much for all the prayers over Nate. The doctors at the hospital called him a star for how quicky he improved and got stronger. But we know it was God's hand on his little body that helped him the most! I just look at this child and am soooo thankful he is here and healthy. It was a long pregnancy and a surprise early arrival, but God was there the entire time. My faith has grown so much over these last 7 months, I have never seen the hand of God work so much in my life.

love you all!!!
