86 days…..

and Kaden’s home!!  Our 1lb 14 oz preemie is now 6lbs 13oz!  He’s home on oxygen, but he’s home!!  We’re so glad to have him home and thank God every minute for this precious miracle!  So many prayers, so many tears, so many drives to the hospital!  One down, one to go!  I’ll let the pictures do the rest of the talking!

Brady has done pretty well.  He held him for a while and was really interested and then it was “let’s put him in his bed now”!!  Oh well, slow transition!!    We’re having a blast and Nana and Granny are here to lend a helping hand!  A few prayers for our first night wouldn’t hurt!!

While we’re talking about prayers….Karsyn will have some spinal fluid taken from her head tomorrow morning so they can test and make sure the infection is completely gone.  As long as that comes back ok she will have surgery Tuesday morning at 7:30 to have a shunt put in her head.  The shunt will drain the spinal fluid down into her body.  We obviously hate it that she needs another surgery, but once this is done it should allow us to focus on getting her back on track and headed home sooner as opposed to later.  So pray for Karsyn and pray for her doctors.  And pray for us as we transition and adjust to two at home and one at the hospital.  Going back and forth is taking on a whole new look now!!!  But hopefully it won’t be for long!!!

Thank you for all your prayers….Kaden is home because we serve a gracious God and because we have so many people kneeling every minute of every day on behalf of our sweet babies!
