Homecoming!

Today was the day we have dreamed of for so long. After over 100+ days in the NICU, Allison can now go home! We are scheduled to discharge on Sunday and we'll finally get to bring our little munchkin home!
Allie will be coming home on her oxygen canula for probably a few weeks till she gets a little bigger and she'll have a respiratory therapist follow her progress at home.
Allie is now 6lbs 13oz and loving every minute of her meals (thus her cute chubby cheeks!)
Words cannot describe the feeling of relief to know that the end of our journey is near and we can move forward now with our little angel at home.

How fantastic! I've checked your blog almost daily for the last few months and have been waiting for the day that I opened it to see that Allison was comming home. Congrats and best wishes to you both, hopefully the dog doesn't get too jealous :-)

jodiI’ve been watching Allie’s progress almost everyday, and I know she is a tough soldier to have come threw this. I believe it could be because of the General’s (Mom & Dad) and all the other troops that have prayed and been there for her. She also had a insider from Heaven helping, Grandpa Mike.
