Day 83 - Homecoming on Wednesday

Sammy B seems to have taken his doc’s Suck or Starve (see previous post) threat seriously. It in fact commenced yesterday and the boy is managing to survive without the nasogastric tube – he even gained 10grams yesterday (to 2490grams). So we were told today to get ready to bring him home on Wednesday morning!!! Mich is rooming over at the hospital tomorrow night with Sammy in her bed and then he’ll cross the hospital threshold early on Wednesday morning. Hallelujah!

I’ve attached an at- birth and a today shot just to remind you of the absolute miracle of this little chap’s life and healing. We’re so thankful to Our Creator for him.

Our house has gone into full battle mode with the final preparations for his return and making sure that we thank all of the incredible staff at the hospital properly. Just to make life interesting all three of us at home have a cold. Please prayer for our healing before Sam gets back and that he will continue to suck his bottle and boob and not sleep on the job as he prone to doing.

Limited brain capacity for much more. Thank you for helping us along this road we’ve walked sometimes but been carried mostly.

With love and immense gratitude
Terence
