Homecoming Party!! (for Connor)

After 115 days in the NICU, we're finally taking Connor home! Born at 1 pound 10 ounces, he came into the world on December 12th, 3.5 months early. It wasn't easy, but he overcame an infection at birth, more than a dozen chest x-rays, two blood transfusions, feeding tubes, dozens or even hundreds of scary "brady's" (brief moments of passing out due to low heart rate-- most of the time while eating), and a lot of stress to be healthy enough to leave the NICU. He made it through frustrating times of ventilator tubes and C-paps to help him breathe, but now he's a perfectly breathing baby with good lungs and vital organs. His eyes and ears are functioning normally. He currently weighs 6 pounds, 14 ounces, and is a healthy little baby. He's gone through so much, and he makes mom and dad so proud-- Welcome home little buddy, we love you!!
