Home at last!

Elliott is doing so great! He had another echocardiogram on Friday Nov.27 that showed his pressures going to his lungs were still getting better, not worse. So the doctors and nurses hurried and got everything in order and by 2:30 in the afternoon, we bundled up Elliott to come home!

He fell asleep for the car ride home. I guess he'll have to have his first look at "outside" the next time we leave the house.

Once we got home, he was very awake and alert, checking out his new surroundings.

He is now 9.5 lbs and 23.5 inches long so he is growing like a champ! And yes, his hair has a reddish tint to it. We will have to wait and see if it will be brown, blonde, or red. There isn't quite enough of it to tell.

He looks so tiny in his big crib! But it is so nice to have him home.
Thank you all so much for your prayers and thoughts of our family. We have felt the support and know our prayers have been answered. We are so blessed!
