He's home!

Well we made it home with Teagan and he is doing good. We had a nurse come help us set up his feeding machine, he is doing great. The girls were so excited to see him, they took turns holding his hand and talking to him. We are grateful for all the love and prayers that have kept him going, we thank each one of you.
Unfortunately we have a little bad news, before we left the hospital gave us strict orders to have no visitors for a while. His heart is still so fragile and the sick season hasn't even peaked yet, so to be safe we are going to follow their advice until the "sick" season clears a little. Thank you for your understanding, I know there are many that want to see and hold him and that time will come, just not for a few months. We will keep this blog updated with pictures and progress for those interested, again thank you for your understanding, this is a hard thing to ask.

  1. Oh I am so glad you are home, Yes it is frustrating for some to understand staying away, but it is only for the best and if they really want to do the best they will totally understand. We had quite a few people very very mad at us because they couldn't see Kylie forever, some still haven't :( It's just part of protecting your little heart baby. Please let me know if you need help with anything. I will post our little poem, here goes...............

    Before I was born my heart was in trouble,
    so when I arrived they did surgery on the double.
    My mom and dad couldn't hold me for a while,
    they waited by my side and helped me through my trial.
    I stayed at the hospital until I got better,
    and now my whole family is finally together.
    The doctor said I could get very sick,
    If I catch any bugs I'll be back quick.
    So if you want to help me in the way that is best,
    I shouldn't have visitors so I can get my rest.
    I'm sorry to ask this and my family is too,
    we'd love nothing better than a visit from you.
    Please don't be offended it's not meant that way,
    I really look forward to when I can play.
    My heart just needs some time to get strong,
    I can't wait to meet you it won't be too long!

    I posted this on my front and back door, Hope it helps and your 1st night home goes great!
