Coming home soon?!!!

If all goes well, Jillian will be coming home this weekend! Praise God!


That's weeks sooner than anyone anticipated. The average stay in the hospital for a "normal case" CDH baby is 6-8 weeks. Following Jill's surgery four weeks ago, the surgeon stated that he would be "shocked" if she was home in less than 2-3 months due to the severity of her condition. Jill is now just over five weeks old. Amazing! What an answer to prayer!



Judy is spending the night at the hospital tonight to get used to caring for Jill, while I am home watching Katelyn. We're hoping that the two of us will be able to stay at the hospital tomorrow night.


We'll try our best to keep everyone posted on the timing of Jill's return home.


Thank you to everyone who has been praying for Jill and our family and to all who have watched Katelyn, made meals, sent flowers, etc. We couldn't have made it through this time without all of the help we have received.
