Home Sweet Home.......sorta!

We (Sam and Nikki) were discharged from Portsmouth Naval Hospital on Tuesday afternoon. Sam is enjoying home and we were all grateful to sleep in our own beds again. Sam had his first doctor visit today and is doing well.

Madison is still in the NICU but doing very well. She has been taken off all breathing/feeding tubes and placed in the "outer pod" of the NICU. The outer pod is the portion of the NICU where babies go for observation before they go home. Madie is breathing and feeding all on her own and tolerating all of the treatments being given. Please continue to keep both her and Sam in your thoughts and prayers. They will be together again soon. We think they miss each other very much!! Here are a few pictures of Sam's first day at home and Madison without so many tubes hooked up to her.
