I think Hailey says it all, we were SOOO excited to bring Landon home!

Finally putting this crib to use!

All snug in his bed, right where he belongs!

Some of Landon's morning meds! He also gets 1 med before his feed (already gave that & 2 inhaler puffs)

Reunited with the fam! :)

I've got more to add but wanted to at least get pictures out! (I'll repost with an update) It's taken me 3 days to do this, it's a lot of work! He's such a great baby and we are beyond thrilled to have him home!! What a wonderful Mother's Day!

Oh I have been waiting for this post! It is so crazy I have never met you but I think of you and your miracles often. This post has me grinning from ear to ear. He is truly a miracle, my prayer is that God continues to work in his life, and heal him and take away the "typical micro-preemie issues"
