Back in the Brazos Valley

The past week has been action packed! After a frustrating weekend where we thought we would be in Austin forever, the Doctor surprised us Monday morning saying that Caroline could be transported the next morning. Apparently they had been working on it for a while and weren't sure if it would workout so they didn't want to tell us yet. Fortunately, the ambulance company agreed to wave the fee of the transport. Otherwise, we would not have been able to be moved! Another one of God's miracles!

Jesse, the boys, and I packed up as quickly as we could Monday evening and left for College Station by 10:00 pm. Caroline left in the ambulance Tuesday morning. The boys were more excited waking up in their own beds Tuesday morning than they were on Christmas morning.

After about 12 hours of recuperating from the trip, Caroline started showing she really wants to come home. She started eating all or most of her bottles and is doing really well on her oxygen.

Today, the hospital staff started making plans for Caroline to come home as early as Sunday. When they started making the list of the things that needed to be done, it was clear it was going to take more than a couple days to get everything together. So, now it looks like Caroline will come home Monday. We are meeting with the Home Medical people tomorrow. They will get us set up with the equipment we will need for Caroline to be on oxygen here at home.

Thank you so much for all of your continued prayers and support! You can see God's hand in every aspect of Caroline's BIG life!

Please pray for us in this transition home!
