Home

Back when I was in the hospital, your daddy and I joked that whenever a doctor would come in we were going to start blaring Michael Buble's song Home, "Let me go home, I’m just too far from where you are, I wanna come home." 

Today, while sitting next to you, I listened while the twins next door got discharged. I was feeling a small sense of jealously, wondering when that would be us, as well as a sense of excitement knowing our time would be coming soon. I smiled, thinking maybe it was time for Mr. Buble's song to resurface for you boys and your doctors!

While watching the family next door prepare to leave, our family received very hopeful news. Wiley you have received the vaccine needed before discharge and you have your eye exam scheduled for Thursday. Everything that needs taken care of before going home seems to be happening! Ryan, don't worry, they are preparing for your homecoming too!! You are now feeding on demand too - you get to eat when you're hungry, not any set schedule. If this works okay today, you will lose the NG tube tomorrow. They may even stop your caffeine tomorrow too. I wanted to cry tears of joy with all this wonderful news. The doctor ended her recap by asking, "Is their room ready? They'll be going home very soon." I pray she is right. What a miracle you two are - so healthy and soon going home! What a fabulous day when the four of us are all together!
