We finally got to take our baby home! It has been so great enjoying him in an environment outside the hustle and bustle of the NICU. We were welcomed with a pleasant surprise Friday morning when the Neonatologist came to take a look at Rohen and told me that I could take him home. My eyes filled with tears of joys to hear those words. It has been fun adjusting to life here at home. Rohen is so sweet, and he rarely cries. The only time we hear a peep is when he's ready to eat. I think that he is making up for lost time. He gulps his milk down like it is going out of style! We just went to the pediatrician this afternoon and he said his is in top shape. He is still a little guy, but he's now an astounding 7lbs. He's gained 7 ounces since he's been home with us. I think he likes it here :). The road doesn't end here, we've got plenty of follow up appointments with neurologists, physical therapists, developmental specialists, etc, etc...but we are expecting the best. To us Rohen is just our baby, he looks and acts like any other baby and that is how we are going to treat him. Thank you again everyone for your kindness. We are so blessed to have you all in our lives. I will continue to update the blog and post pictures so you can all see our little Rohen in action. Who knows, maybe I'll keep this blog going until he's 21! Love to everyone
Congrats on Rohen finally coming home!!! Guess we'll need to send a 49ers jersey to get into the football mix ;p Hope the little guy is adjusting well to the real world. Love you all.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad he is home, that's where he belongs, with mom and dad. And grammas and grampas, aunts and uncles, and everybody that loves him so, so much. Can't wait to come see him. Love you guys, Chris E.
