Goodbye CPAP...Goodbye feeding tube...Goodbye nasal cannula....Goodbye NICU Staff...9.16.11

Daddy & Mommy spent the night at the hospital last night.  We roomed in with Sean.  He's off all equipment!   We can finally see his sweet little face....all of it!   We fed him, burped him, changed his diapers, held him, sang to him.... Our first sleepless night!  We slept a little, but not much.  We are headed back to the hospital to room in with our baby again tonight. 

Sean now weighs 7 lbs!   We fed him last night and watched closely for any change in his color.  He did great!  No color change....we took our time feeding him, so he didn't choke.  He sucked, swallowed and remembered to pause and breathe!   We could sense that he loved having us with him all night.  He was so content hanging out with Mommy & Daddy. 

Sean's eye test was good.  His vision is good. 

We love our sweet little baby!   We are so happy to be bringing our baby home soon.  We will miss our new friends in the NICU.   The staff has been incredible!  The Doctors, RNs, Respitory Therapists, Lactation Consultants, other Preemie parents and their babies.  Sean has received excellent care and we are grateful!  We will always remember Sean's Journey to home.   The NICU experience is coming to an end.  On to the next chapter of our lives...being Sean's Mommy & Daddy.  Our lives are forever changed.  We are blessed to be Sean's parents.  We are looking forward to this journey with our precious baby boy.

Thank you for your continued prayers and support.  God is so good to us! 
Sean's Mommy & Daddy
