87 Days Later and We Finally Got Mia Home.. Brynn Is Not Far Behind!!

This day seemed so far off when the kids were born, but it came faster than we could think and we are so excited to get Mia home!!! Everyone in the NICU was so excited for us but sad at the same time because they all grew attached to the kids and we grew attached to the nurses. Now that Mia is home life has changed. Mia is taking in all of her surroundings and getting to know her new best friend.... MONTY!! (I think Monty is more scared of Mia than Mia is of Monty). Mal is learning fast that having Mia home means absolutely, positively, NO SLEEP!!! Mal even spent the night on the floor in the nursery. Day after day we are figuring things out and we are just so excited that we are one step closer to having everyone at home.

Brynn is doing great. Last Tuesday he was transferred over to Childrens Hospital to have a laser eye procedure... he was back on track by Thursday. After talking to the doctors we decided to keep Brynn at Childrens Hospital until he comes home so he has access to physical therapy and the orthopedic doctors. We knew we made the right decision when we walked in on Friday and saw Brynn in his new casts to help his club feet. Brynn just needs to continue to grow and start eating and he will be home before we know it.

Mal and I are so thankful for all the love and support people have been giving us. We understand that people are exited that Mia is home, but we are asking that people be patient before meeting Mia in person. The doctors told us that even though Mia is home she still needs to have some sort of "protection" they warn us that if she gets sick she may have to go back into the hospital. With that said Mal and I are waiting until the doctors give us permission to invite people over to see Mia. Trust us we are excited for Mia to meet everyone but we are going to just be patient. We will continue to update the blog so everyone can stay up-to-date.

Thank you for all of the love and support!! 


Mia got all dressed up for her big event!!


Here is Mal with our escort team out of OSU!
Michelle was working that day and Pam decided
to come in on her day off... We love our nurses!!




Mia decided to take it all in... NOT... She slept 
the whole ride home.




Mia and Mom are snuggle buddies




Mia finally got to be in the big girl swing...
not so sure if she likes it or not but it 
beats being in the isolette.




Brynn was moved to a big boy bed!!


Brynn likes being nice and snug when he sleeps.




Now that Brynn is in a big boy bed, we got to
decorate it with mobiles and toys.



Here is Brynn with his casts. 



Up close you can see we put socks on the cast to
make them look more comfy!


THANKS AGAIN FOR ALL THE LOVE AND SUPPORT

LOVE THE FRASERS
