Chapter 1: The NICU is officially over. We met with the docs and specialists today and decided against the ganciclovir treatments. The future is unknown, but we have formulated a gameplan for monitoring vision, hearing, bloodwork and brain activity, along with speech and physical therapy. We did some final discharge checkups and such and headed home from the hospital at 2:45 pm! We both were at complete peace regarding our decision and future game plan and really look forward to starting the new chapter of our lives. We have been home now for 2 hours and Mae is still mesmerized by finally having her new baby brother home!
Noah is pretty excited to finally get to hold Drake too!
Drake if your reading this at any point in the future, we did everything in our power to help you get the best jumpstart on life. You have put more gray hairs on my rapidly receding hairline than both Mae and Noah combined. Up to this point you have only been alive for 8 days and are already a world changer. On your behalf, there have been thousands of prayers, buckets of tears, and lots of moms and dads giving their kids an extra hug at bedtime. While I dont suspect your next few years will make quite as much of an impact on the world as your first week; I do know that God has great things in store for you and this is only just the beginning.
Some of my favorite pics of my little buddy!
Just a few months, 630 diapers, and about 80 degrees from now we are going to start filling up this blog with Drake fishing pics!!!
