Here is our sweet Toby in his carseat! What an exciting day. We got to come home today. Of course it feels wonderful. Thank you all so much for the prayers and support while we were in Lubbock. We woke up this morning, finished getting ourselves out of the RV (it felt like we were moving), and were dismissed from the NICU around 10:30 am. We were home before noon. Even though we had to stay forever, I really feel comfortable with Toby's health at home, which was really important to both of us before we got here. Today we were definitely tired, but I think tomorrow will bring a new day and we can start finding our rhythm. I remember the day when I found out Toby would have some problems. I remember feeling so lost and hopeless at the thoughts of all the surgeries and pain he would have to go through. I have worried about it everyday for the past six or so months. I finally feel like we are through with the tough part. I finally feel like I can let that go. I can start enjoying this and feeling normal. I know Toby will have more procedures in the future, and that there will be harder days than some, but I know the toughest part is behind us. I know we could not have done it without our God and the prayers that he heard. Love you all... We are going to bed !
