Almost Home



Here we are at the hospital almost time to go home from the hospital. Jonah has done awesome and passing all the test in flying colors.

Jonah ready to go home. We are extremely nervous but have learned a lot. I could possibly be able to be a nurse soon without going to school. We did go home with a feeding tube and oxygen. He is really little and looks tiny in the car seat
The first day at home. Yeh!! Faithy has loved being back home and being able to hold Jonah.



Her favorite thing to do is to hold him on the boppy and watch a show. Jonah loves his little big sister.

Our little family has grown. But our next adventure sure started way earlier than we expected. We were home for 4 days and it got a little stressful at the end. Come to find out poor Jonah got staff infection in his incision. We went back to Primary Childrens on Saturday. They did another surgery at 11:00pm that night to open him up and clean out the infection. We have now been here for another week. But he is doing lots better. We will be coming home one more time and without oxygen. Jonah now has a pic line in his leg for antibiotics that he will have for six weeks. The bad thing is he will not be able to have a bath still for another 5 weeks. Lots of lotion is going to be used to make him smell good. But we are all greatful for the support and love that everyone has given us. Also greatful for Jonah and being able to be healthy as can be.
Jonah ready to get home from the hospital for the 2nd time along with Mom and Dad. We all need a vacation.

I am glad to hear everything is getting better. It is good to hear that Faith is being a great sister. I can't imagine what Ashlyn would do with the tubes.

I am glad to be able to keep up with your little guy through your blog. Your little Jonah is such a trooper. I am sure it has been hard having him in the hospital. Thanks for keeping the updates so we can see how he is doing. Hope all is well!
