Plans....

BRODY IS COMING HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Next week is the big week! We are pushing for Monday but not sure that all the test results will be in due to the holidays. He will be coming home on tube feeds. We are currently on 4 bottles per day and he is doing great with those. I've requested him home for several reason but the main two are because it is very hard to get to the hospital since Ricky is gone and he needs to be home interacting with his sisters and not laying in a hospital bed. He is 11 pounds 10 ounces and 22 inches long! He is a toddler :) The hospital is ordering a home nurse for him. This will help me a lot. Like the girls, he will go home on oxygen and the apnea monitor. Let the holidays begin!!!  Ricky is very disappointed that he will not be here. He would have never left town if we would have known Brody would be home so soon.
Speaking of Ricky, PA is going great. His job is getting a offer package together for him. We will make our decision based on a couple of things but that package will be the main decision maker.
The girls had to get their RSV shot yesterday. It was horrible! They both weigh the same, 9 pounds 10 ounces!! In other great news, the girls have one more ROP appointment, their eyes are doing great!! We are so lucky that all three have their vision and hearing. Being born so early a lot are not as fortunate.
It is such an amazing feeling to know there is an end to the hospital journey. It has been such a long, hard road. Our eyes have been opened to a lot. God's grace is so beautiful. I don't understand how Ricky and I are so lucky to have these babies but I know that we are very blessed.
