Christmas came early for us in the form of our favorite nurse. She told us early yesterday that she didn't think he needed to stay much longer and got the ball rolling for us. By yesterday evening we got the word that we would be rooming in tonight and, if all went well today, going home tomorrow. Well, he has done everything he needed to do and we will be headed to the Joe sometime tomorrow.
Needless to say, we're pretty excited and feeling extremely blessed. The nurse practitioner told us tonight that it is very rare for preemies to go home at 35 weeks, so we feel pretty special. I think Jenny's ready to enroll him in gifted programs. Overboard.
Thank you all for your prayers and support through all of this. God is good. Happy Birthday Jesus! and Grandpa Gilliam! Please keep my Grandpa Gilliam and family in your thoughts and prayers as well.
