Feels like I waited my whole life for this one night!

So much to share . . . so little sleep!

Oh what a day! Seems like we have waited forever for today but it is unbelievable that we have come so far in just five and a half weeks.

We finally got the word that we would be discharged today at about 10:00 am. Jesse started making doctors appointments while I took Caroline's prescriptions to be filled. Of course, the drugs she is taking aren't super common so there was some concern about when they would be available. This delayed us a little bit but we were finally able to start the discharge process by about 1:30.

(This isn't a scream - just the beginnings of a yawn. She was actually really content in her seat and on the ride home.)


There were so many things the boys wanted to do with her. They definitely made up for lost time today.

Caroline got to meet Buckle!

She got to sit in one of her fabulous seats!

She got to cuddle up to Mommy and Jack on her very own couch!

She got to be held by James!

and by Jack!

and she got to have a bath in her BIG bath tub!
Jack and James were such big helpers. Jack finally got tired of helping her with her pacy and just put it in her hand.


Oh, So happy to be home!
Thank you all for being so faithful to our family throughout this journey! We have a long road ahead of us with this beautiful miracle baby but we know we can face all things through a little faith, a lot of prayer, and an army by our sides! Thank you for standing with us!

Welcome home sweet Caroline! I thank God for your life every single day and I'm reminded of how precious life is through you. I am in tears because I'm so happy and overwhelmed with joy that you were finally able to go home. Words really escape me at this moment. I know Jesus is with you and I know you exist because He has given you to us to show His unconditional love. I'm truly thankful for you and I praise God for allowing you to make it home and into our lives. I pray for peace and continued healing. And I pray for your Mommy and Daddy to continue to gain knowledge of your symptoms and know exactly what to do when something different comes along. I believe He has surrounded your family with the undying love He has always promised. I know your home is comforting and I know your tiny body has made the miraculous transition from critical to stable and then.... home. I pray that your struggles fly away with each passing day. And I pray that every person who has had the privilege to get a glimpse of God's miracle allows that miracle, YOU, to always remind them of how GREAT our God truly is. Although I haven't had the chance to meet you in person yet, I love you Miss Caroline. You are so stong and honestly, you are truly AMAZING! I will see you very soon. I told your Aunt Jenny, I want to come over in the next couple of weeks so we can meet.:) I can't wait to hold you. Love, Stacey Guerra
