Feeling Better

Just a quick note to let everyone know that we made it home on Wednesday afternoon. Journey's oxygen levels returned to the normal limits so we were able to go home and finish her recovery.  She is pretty much back to her normal sweet self again and we are super thankful.  She will get breathing treatments at home for the next week.  Other than that the Dr. said she might have some flare ups in the coming months.  

We wanted to thank everyone who prayed for her (and us).  We were really sad for her because she was so miserable.  After a few days of deep suctioning she starting crying in her sleep and throwing her arms up to protect her face.  I would basically have to wake her up out of a bad dream.  Sad.  The last day we were there she started smiling in her sleep....confirmation to me that she wasn't completely traumatized by everything.  

I was telling a few people recently  how much I adore our girl.  I just do.  She is so sweet spirited and snuggly.  I remember when we found out we were pregnant how crazy the thought of having another baby was ("unplanned").  I can't imagine not having her in our lives.  She is a huge blessing to us!

We're so happy to see that Journey is home now and doing so much better. She is such a sweet and beautiful baby and it broke our hearts to think of her suffering.

Sending our love your way,
Michael, Jawanna & Abby
