After a 24 hour whirlwind full of CPR classes, medication training and mind numbing insurance issues Matthew strolled out of the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit this afternoon to a standing ovation from the PICU staff that immediately brought tears to our eyes.Our heart goes out to another family we got to know at the hospital who had a little boy one week before Matthew was born and is having another surgery on Monday. His condition is very similar to Matthew's and they have no idea when they'll get to take him home. After going into the hospital wondering why this was happening to us, we walked out of the hospital feeling truly blessed....like we're one of the lucky ones.
Taylor is absolutely ecstatic to have her little brother home tonight. She was able to hold him for the first time and is already having trouble keeping her hands off him.
Thank you all for the unending prayers and encouragement. We truly believe that having Matthew home is a miracle.

Congrads on having Matthew home! I know how wonderful it was not to have to go to the NICU every night. As scary as I'm sure the next fews nights will be-just remember the NICU would of never allowed him to go home if he wasn't truly ready. I know this very well since us going home with my daughter was our 2nd attempt-failed our 1st-LOL! Its just amazing what technology can do these days! Happy Holidays and keep us all posted. Checking Matthews website is part of my daily routine the last month. Keep up the good job Mom and Dad. Glad to see GREAT news.
Happy Holidays
