The afternoon of Tuesday, March 12th we packed up Luke's special care room and he was discharged to go home!!! The docs originally shared that he may go home in a week, but it didn't take long for us to learn things change quickly in special care. Before leaving, he had to pass many checks for discharge--feed 2 days on his own without the tube, maintain a normal body temperature, pass car seat check, etc. Coming into the weekend, it looked like Luke was getting closer and by Tuesday, we got the full okay. We were thrilled to take him home!!
Packing up....
Since Justin and I both had not been cleared to drive yet, we sought out a special driver, Aunt Christina!! :)
Aunt Christina and Luke
So excited to be home!!!!
When we got home, we were anxiously awaiting the chance for Charlie to meet his new baby brother. We really had no idea how he would handle it. The past 2 weeks he had bounced between both grandparents' houses, and hadn't been home much at all.
Well, it ended up going even better than we could have even imagined!!! :) Charlie was giddy-excited to meet his baby brother. He was super sweet to baby Luke and is already a proud, big brother!
Love these 3--so thankful to be home with all of my boys!
Giving his new little brother kisses! So sweet!
