Thursday afternoon

Reed is out from under the lights today, which has made Cammy and I very happy. "Parenting through plexiglass"(Cammy's quote) isn't exactly ideal. Hopefully, by this afternoon, he'll be off the monitors and feeding tube, and will able to stay in our room with us tonight. So we're finally going to get our first sleepless night! I never thought I'd be so excited about that. It's also looking like we're going to get to go home sometime tomorrow assuming all goes well. We're both very excited. It's kind of funny, we left home on Friday afternoon a week ago, and hopefully will be back home Friday afternoon tomorrow. This certainly has been one of the most, if not THE most difficult weeks of our lives, but we couldn't have gotten through this all without the support of all of you. We have an awful lot to be thankful for on Thanksgiving this year.

Cammy said the other night that I found to be hillarious. "This is just making up for how easy the pregnancy was." She had a very easy pregnancy, very little discomfort, no sickness, and was just all around pretty good. Quite a contrast to how the last week has gone...

Thank you all for all your good energy, thoughts, and prayers. We love you all.

Glad to hear that you'll be going home soon! Do you guys have enough clothes for Reed? If now let us know and we can bring some of the stuff that Robbie has out grown up. The 0-3 month stuff he hardly wore. Let us know. Glad to hear you'll be spending the night as a family. Cammy, master the art of nursing on your side and you won't be so deliriously sleepy, though you just are at first. Remember to sleep when Reed sleeps.
