The boys ready to head out


In the elevator

Caleb had a good night last night. He mostly slept through his 1:00 a.m. feeding. This is a major benefit of the NG tube. He doesn't even have to wake up to eat.

At 3:00 a.m., he decided he was ready to eat again, one hour before schedule. Phil took this feeding and then we all slept until 7:30 a.m. We were much less nervous than I figured we would be. Because we were working on feeding and modifying medications the last week in the hospital, not working on his heart and lung stuff, I am much more comfortable with his level of stability.

We had a good day today. Caleb is high maintenance and really likes to be held (especially by me), but he was pretty well behaved. I am definitely going to have to find my baby carrier and I will probably end up with some very defined biceps.

  2. Jen and Family--the McDonald Family have been following your progress because your family is a member of our Alto Family (community and school of Alto). Also, our son had a brief stay in the hospital after his birth due to heart complications that totally seem like a tiny blip compared to what you have faced. We are glad to see all is going well and send you our thoughts and prayers. And now maybe we will see you around town?! --Michelle, Troy, Carsen and Kelum McD.

  3. What else is there to say but... God is GOOD! I am sure everyone is loving the fact that they are sleeping in their own beds! Welcome home Caleb! He looks like he is getting big so fast - which is wonderful - can't wait to meet him in person!
