Quote of the Moment

This is what the past is for! Every experience God gives us, every person He puts in our lives is the perfect preparation for the future that only He can see." Corrie ten Boom, The Hiding Place

We're Home!

Samuel was discharged from the hospital this afternoon. He is doing so well; the surgeon was very impressed with how quickly he is recovering. He is such a strong little boy!
Leaving the hospital was kind of an emotional experience today. Samuel has had his final surgery so this time when we left we have no plan to return. We will have follow-up appointments with the surgeon, but we aren't preparing for the next surgery. It feels a little odd because all of the other times we have left the hospital we have known that we would be back within a couple of months. So, just like the first time when I left the hospital and had to leave Samuel there in the NICU, I cried almost the whole way home, but this time they were tears of joy!

We are glad you are home! How exciting! We have enjoyed looking at all the pictures of Samuel in the hospital. Olivia says, "How tyoot (cute)." We especially like the one where he is in the wagon with George and the frog.
