This is the end ... and also a new beginning!

We are rooming in tomorrow at the hospital!

Yes, it has finally come. We are going home this weekend and we couldn't be more excited!

Kadin is going home on .25 liters of oxygen. It's just a whiff, but he still needs it. So, this will probably be my last blog until we get home, unless I am able to have my computer set up in the hospital while we room-in with him.

He has changed so much in the last 3 or 4 days. He is eating well, his oxygen is great, he is sleeping well, moving like he should ... everything is just fine. We have been busy making Dr. appts and finalizing a LOT of things. Life at home is going to be much different for us for the next year at least, so we have to make the best of it and just go with it.

Tonight we attended a CPR class. I pray we never have to use it, but if we do, we are prepared.

We have already taken the kids back home and re-enrolled them in school. They are excited and to tell you the truth, so were we ... because of how excited they are about being back HOME and with their friends!

I can't believe it is actually here ... it's been 3 and a half months since I was admitted to the 3rd floor for high risk pregnancies! I couldn't see my way thru it all for a long while, but now, it's hard to believe that we've come this far!

I have said it what seems like a hundred times, but I know that we wouldn't have made it without the love and prayers of so many people. We are eternally grateful for the prayers and well wishes of all of you who have taken the time to keep us in your thoughts and ask our mighty GOD to perform miracles in our lives! We would not be bringing our little angel home with us this weekend if it weren't for a merciful God who is faithful to those who love him! So THANK YOU from the depths of our hearts and know that your unselfishness will be remembered forever and always......

Until we meet again on this journey . . . . . .

Thank you for sharing your journey. My son, Carter was born at 23.5 weeks and we are on day 42 in the NICU. I feel helpless as he has started getting bronchial spasms. Reading your story lifts my spirits and hopes. I am so excited for you that you are going home!

Many thoughts and prayers- Deanna Linz
