WE ARE HOME!!!! He slept the entire car ride home and has been sleepy since we've been here. He should be because he was up all last night and made sure Mom and Dad were right there with him. Oh, the joys of being a parent without 24 hour nursing assistance. We just need to get his sleeping schedule changed because he's been snoozing for about 4 hours right now and that would have been really nice last night.
It felt so good to walk through the door with our little guy. My heart was just racing with excitement. The dogs have no idea what's in store for them and they are really curious what the heck this little thing that makes a lot of noise is.
We are not out of the woods yet by a long stretch, we still have to get the bladder back on the inside, get his pelvis to fuse together and make him a poophole that is not on the side of his body. There is a lot of work to still be done but we will do everything we can to make sure he gets exactly what he needs. We just ask that you keep the prayers coming, because we know that they work (no encephalocele) and that He can perform miracles.
We will continue to update the blog everyday with pictures now instead of surgery updates and would assume that we will be going back to the hospital for more surgeries in the next 3 to 6 months.
Welcome home to all of you! I have tears in my eyes just reading your current blog and by looking at the picture it appears that Robbie is taking in all of his new surroundings.
ReplyDeleteHopefully Lucy and Colonel will take to him just like Morris took to Sean immediately. They truly were "buds" for a whole long time. We always knew where Sean was just by listening for the meows or loud purring.
There are lots and lots of folks in Atlanta praying for the little guy as well as you guys. I know you will find this hard to believe but they are keeping up with your blog even better than I am.
Keep blogging! Love you all!!
