We got to bring Graham home today!!!!!! His test all came back negative. He also passed his hearing test which is great.
We got to bring him home at noon today and play with him all afternoon AT OUR HOUSE!!!!!!! Not in an NICU unit with 10 other babies plus nurses, and other mommy and daddys.
I didnt think we were going to get to bring him home due to a wrestling match between me and our carseat. The adjustment straps have these little tabs that help them from slipping through the buckle easily. (you can start laughing if you know what I am talking about.) So here I am in the middle of the NICU fighting this strap, other families, and nurses looking at me like this guy doesn’t have a clue. Finally after about 20 minutes of wrestling with it…(Abbi was able to feed Graham in the time I was fighting this battle) I asked the nurse if she had any tweezers…. or vice grips….. or a sledgehammer….or a ….ANYTHING!! So she got me some some surgical tweezers, you know the ones with the clamp that holds them together, you see them on Greys Anatomy all the time…yeah those and put the thing back together. So here I am in the middle of the NICU doing surgery on …..a carseat. HA!!!
I think that is the slowest I have ever driven in my life. But, the great thing was we get about halfway home and we realize we left his blanket up at the hospitial. So, we had to turn around and head back, before completing our journey home. But, he is home and we are having the time of our life. He is such a blessing and we are so thankful for everything God has done in stiching our little Graham together. Again, thank you for your prayers and your support.
We will have pics soon because his going home outfit is soooooo stinking cute….
