WE'RE HOME!!!!!

It's 9:30 and we are home and settling in. Brycen has eaten well and is sleeping like a rock. We took some pictures right before we left Children's and wanted to share a few.

Here we are dressed and ready for home.

My Angel and My "Angel One"

I promise this is leaving the hospital, not going to tailgate (yet).

This time Brycen had to travel by car, not helicopter.

They say "most accidents happen less than a mile from home." I don't think they were talking about this kind. I'm glad we were exiting into Springdale.

So we made it home safe and sound. Dad never knew he could be so nervous driving. We realized on our way home that we failed to get the contact information of Caden's family. At last report, Caden was still in CVICU under monitoring for his brain, but it has been discovered that his vocal cords have been paralyzed from the ventilator and he is having trouble eating because he can't swallow. They were going to have to place a feeding tube in him and may have to do more surgery to correct the problem. We may never know Caden's status ever again, but please keep him and his family in your prayers. If we ever find out during any of our return check ups, we will let you know.

We've said it a thousand times, but a thousand times over still wouldn't be enough. We can't thank you all enough for all the prayers, visits, and support each of you have given us. Times like this aren't easy, but they sure are made easier with great friends and family like we have in all of you.

We also can't thank the staff at Children's enough. These miracle workers became family to us in a matter of hours. To each person we had contact with, from nurse technicians to surgeons, we will never be able to repay you for the miracle you worked in our lives, but we will pray that God will pour his blessings upon you and yours forever more!
