A Leap Towards Home

Thursday afternoon (2/20):

A beaming social worker stepped into Gracie's room and announced that we were going to Washington! Not only that, but that we would be leaving in less than 48 hours. Connie had been working tirelessly on our case and had managed to secure coverage for a medical transport to a hospital closer to home.

Sunday Morning (2/23):
Yesterday morning a flight crew picked up Cienna then came back for Thomas and Gracie. In 2 hours they will be here to pick up William and me. Dad is on the receiving end, waiting to give us hugs and get us tucked into our new place.

Sunday Night:
All 4 babies are tucked into their new rooms and getting to know their new nurses and doctor.  They had quite the trip flying over the Grand Canyon from sunny Arizona to wintery Washington. They no longer have a feeding tube and are taking the bottle for all of their feedings, even Cienna. The next big goal is for Thomas, William and Cienna to get off oxygen. We are so grateful to the NICU at Banner Desert Medical Center, the nurses, doctors and staff whose skill and dedication made it possible to bring all four home to Washington.

Friday Night (2/28):
Gracie comes home!
