Home Sweet Home








So today was the big day. Jack is finally home!!! He was episode free for 7 days (he got sent home with an apnea monitor anyhow, which helps us relax). We went in picked up his meds (vitamins & iron) that he gets once a day then hit the NICU to sign the papers and take our baby home. We are so excited to have him in his own house/room/crib/swing, etc. Sierra (our Lab)gave him a few good sniffs and I guess decided he was good to go she's just chilling & watching him. Sassy (Der wiener dog) just wants to lick hi face and is whining trying to get into the swing with him. He has had some food and is happily resting in the swing now, he seems to love it. I'll try to get a few more pics through the day since this is such a big day.

We really want to thank all the doctor, nurses, therapist, counsellors and staff at Kaiser Roseville. We owe our baby's life to you folks. Thanks for being patient, answering our questions (I'm sure most have been answered numerous times) and putting up with us stressed out parents. You made what was an unthinkable situation manageable, and got our son home to us. I hope at least one person that works at Kaiser Roseville will read this blog and forward our everlasting appreciation for the work you folks do day in and day out. It takes a special kind of person to do the work you do....Thanks.

Also thanks to all our friends and family that have been following Jack's Journey. It really gave us a place to release stress and keep everyone in the loop. Thanks for all your good thought and well wishes. Don't worry this is not goodbye from Internet world, is more like a new chapter. I'll still be updating this blog so stay tuned for news and pics from the World of Jack.

At home in the swing....he appears to be content.

  3. What beautiful pictures to see Jack in his car seat, in his bedroom and in front of the fireplace. What a day! We're thinking of you all and can't wait for the home pictures and blogs to continue his real homelife.
    Love, Aunt Sharon and Uncle Tom
