This page is dedicated to our new baby Rohen. We wanted to give everyone a central place where they can view pictures of our sweet little boy, follow his progress, and post comments. We will update this website as we get information so that everyone stays informed. Thank you to our amazing support system for all the wonderful words of encouragement. Your prayers and love mean the world!

Look Ma...No TUBE!!
So what I thought was going to be a horrible start to the day yesterday turned out to be a blessing in disguise. After I fed Rohen at 6am his feeding tube got caught in the chair, and when I stood up it ripped right out of his nose. I felt so bad, even though he didn't really seem to mind that much. Well rather than put a new tube down his thoat the nurse said she would give him a chance to eat on his own for 24 hours to see how he did, and guess what?....he's been eating ever since!! This is the most amazing news, because now that he can eat on his own he can come home! I am filled with so much joy right now that my little baby boy is going to be coming home very very soon. It looks like he can come home as soon as tomorrow if things continue to go well through out today. So much has happened in the last few days. God has blessed us with a little miracle baby, and he has listened to all of our prayers and yours. Thank you for continuing to support us and pray for us each day. This has been the longest 2 and a half weeks of my life, but thanks to all of your prayers my Rohen has come so far. When we came to Emanuel on the 25th with a limp baby with little to no brain activity, we feared the worst. However we never gave up hope, not even for one second. God gave us the strength to get through each day, he blessed us with an amazing support system and with a strong little boy who fought each day to learn and grow. We are so excited to begin our life outside the hospital. Stay tuned for news on Rohen's homecoming.

"OMG" Look at you baby boy,you've been such a fighter. I can't believe how far you've come. Nana gets down on her knees and thanks god for the miracle of life that he has given to us. I can't wait for you to come home and experience all the beauty and love that will surround you. Like I said before you are truly a gift. I love you baby boy. Love,Nana
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful news. What kind of nonsense is this Packer stuff I see. Nanna has finished the Seahawks blanket and I must say it is the most beautiful one I have ever made ... every stitch contains a prayer for our beautiful boy. Now a matching SEAHAWKS beanie. Can't wait to kiss his toes. One breath at a time - grow stronger and stronger. Sending love and continued thoughts and prayers. Nanna DeAnne

We have trusted God for your miracle healing, for strength to get through this with you (especially your mommy and daddy)and now you are doing it on your own! What a fighter you are. And what a gift you are to so many! I love you little Rohen Mathew Zuniga~Grandma Auds
