And just like that, with little warning, last night they gave Caleb the green light to come home today. We're not exactly sure what time because there are a few things that need to get done, but definitely sometime today.
He is eating all of his food, he is showing no signs of infection or any other maladies, he is just a healthy little boy. So we finally get to bring him home. Praise God!!!
Caleb still needs to get a Hep B shot, a precautionary second hearing screening (because he was on an antibiotic that may cause hearing loss) and he needs to get circumcised. It's nice that they wait until the last day to do the circumcision so we can go home with a grumpy baby who is in pain.
We would love to have everyone come over and see him (and hold him), we would just ask that you give us a call first and schedule a visit a little ahead of time so we're not overwhelmed by a bunch of people all at the same time (it will give you more time with him too). We would like a few days to get him settled, but after that let us know if you would like to come visit.
Thank you all soooooooooo much for all of your prayers, support and love for this boy and our family. It is a true testament of God's faithfulness, blessing, and answer to prayer.
I'll continue to update the blog, but on a less frequent basis now that he's coming home. So check in from time to time when you need a Caleb fix.
Please come visit soon!
