Bryce had got to come home with us on our anniversary, September 29th... We couldn't have asked for a better anniversary gift than that! We spent the first couple of days just the four of us, we had waited months and months to be able to do that. Unfortunately over the next five days Bryce started getting sick. He had a high temperature, wasn't tolerating his feeds and just wasn't himself. I took him to the ER the Sunday after he got home and we found out that he had a staph infection from his last surgery at Children's. That news led to another 3 weeks in the hospital, we were devastated. Matt and I went back to taking turns staying with Bryce and seeing each other for just a few minutes as we switched spots.
Luckily, we were able to bring Bryce back home once the infection cleared... It is just a few days shy of being 2 weeks at home, the whole family... Bryce has done great! He is growing and eating like crazy. He has finally made his way to 8 pounds 10 ounces. He is starting to smile and laugh and play. He has never had an opportunity to do this before. It has taken time and will continue taking time to show him that we aren't here to hurt him. We are so happy to finally have him with us at home!
Cohen has been doing great.. He is 15 pounds 3 ounces and eats eats eats. He is starting to be very interested in toys and his surroundings. He is starting to teethe as well... It is so hard to believe that they will be 6 months old in just a few weeks.
Unfortunately we are entering RSV season and with the flu being so bad we have to keep the boys on lock-down. They are getting monthly shots to help their immune system fight off these types of illnesses through April. We can't wait to take them out and let them meet everyone... from family to friends. Of course, I would love to show them off to absolutely everyone!
Life is starting to come together and we couldn't be happier. We want to be sure and thank everyone for helping us through this tough time. Also thanks to everyone who participated in the benefit for the boys, your support is much appreciated. There is no way we can ever repay or thank everyone enough for all that has been done for us and our two miracles!!! Thank you~
God bless you and your sweet baby boys! They are indeed two miracles that were formed by the love that you two have for each other. Every day, I have prayed for this day that you and your boys would be home together to make your family complete. Congratulations! You will continue to be in my prayers. Hope that you will continue to have good days. Enjoy your sweet family! I loved the video. God bless you. (One of the bunco girls, Linda)
