Casher is home with us...It's Official!!!!!

Well we did it. We finally got our baby boy home today on his 11 week birthday! We got his chest tube out this morning, we got all his extra tubes, bottles, wipes, syringes, pumps, hoses, and muffler bearings gathered up and then hit the road around 2 p.m. We clapped and celebrated the first time he got to go outside today, clumsily strapped him into his car seat for the first time and headed for the suburbs. Now were at home with mama Cheryl, she's oohing and awing at how adorable he is. Kari and I are struggling to remember which medication is which, when to give it to him, how much...It's so much fun having him home, playing with him away from monitors, screaming babies, overly perky and overly tired nurses, and reveling in how much room there is here to spread out.
Thank all of you so much for praying us through this stage, we are so blessed to have such positive, loving and faithful friends and family. Can't wait for all of you to meet him asap!
Love, Papa Mitch
