We are coming home!!

This is the post I've been waiting to write for weeks now.... **We Are Coming Home Tomorrow** (or today actually)!! Since my last post, Kayden has taken every one of his feedings by mouth, and he's eaten as much as he should be. He is off all medications aside from Zantac, which is for reflux. He will be taking that for awhile. Today we had ENT (ear, nose & throat) watch his nasal passages and throat with a scope as he ate. He has minor laryngomalacia (a floppy voice box that blocks the airway) when he eats. All this means is that he is noisy, but now we know why. The doctors have taken him off all wires, so no more monitors or IV's or feeding tubes or breathing tubes... Just my precious baby boy :)
I spent tonight at home cleaning the hell out of my house. It's been bleached and Lysol-ed to the extreme. All laundry has been done, and floors and couches cleaned. There will be a box of masks and sanitizer waiting at the door for anyone who may stop by...
Im feeling excited, anxious, nervous, scared and beyond blissful to have Kayden back home. I am getting my Christmas miracle :) It's going to be a quit one this year though since we will be staying home. We are usually very busy with lots of family, and we will miss all the festivities dearly this year, but nothing is more important than the health and safety of our boys. We will enjoy a laid back, home-in-pajamas-all-day kind of Christmas <3

Thanks for each and every prayer, kind word, though, and gift. They have all helped get us to today, and we will never forget the support we have gotten throughout this terrible event. This won't be my last blog, I promise :) I really enjoy writing, and I'm sure I'll have loads of fun stories to share once he is home.

Loving this exciting feeling tonight, and loving all of you for all the prayers :)
<3 Melissa & Kayden
