One Month Home

Solomon has enjoyed his first month in his own home with his family.  He had a lot of follow up appointments and nurse visits and he's doing really well.  He is weighing in today at 11 lb 7 oz.

Happy Independence Day!

Homecoming!

Solomon successfully made it home yesterday.  He is doing great and weighed in today at 10 pounds exactly.

Solomon is under house arrest for the time being with a pass for lots and lots of doctor visits.  We welcome visitors (for now, until RSV/flu season) as long as you are germ free.  Please no smoking or heavy perfumes and make sure to wash your hands upon arrival.  Call or text me if you want to stop by.  (marciewashere@gmail.com for those who don't have my number)

Jared and I would like to have a dedication ceremony for our little son but it most likely won't be possible until next summer.  If you're interested in that sorta thing, shoot me an email and I'll make sure to send you an invite.

Thanks to everyone that supported our family during this time.  A special thanks to my parents and Jared's parents for taking care of Sam and Lucy.  Infinite gratitude to Akron Children's Hospital for taking such good care of us!

Now I hear a baby crying.... gotta go :)  

One More Day

Solomon is having his eye exam today and then he is getting discharged tomorrow! Wish us luck :)

Homeward Bound

Solomon is planning his escape!  He is coming home as soon as Monday next week.  We are checking off items on his to do list and packing our bags.  When I'm not holding a baby I am getting things ready at home so I won't have much time for blog updates in the next few days.  Thank you again to you, our amazing support system, for continuous love and prayers for our Solomon :)

He's a Natural

Solomon is doing great this week.  He is weaning off of some medications.  They plan to remove his breathing tube later this week.  The past few days have been busy breastfeeding.  He had no trouble figuring that one out.  He did so good that they started giving him bottles too.  He is checking off things on his list and moving right along.  Thanks for checking in on us.  I'm sorry the blog posts are getting scarce but I'm spending lots of time with a baby instead :)

Samson says, "Solomon is doing really really good."

4 Months

Solomon is 4 months old today!  He is weighing in at 9 pounds.  He is on a small amount of oxygen right now and he is working on learning how to drink milk.  He is in the homestretch now and will be given his walking papers pretty soon.
