4 Days and Counting!

Hello Friends! I have great news to share! The doctors have decided that I am ready to go home! We have a few hoops to jump through still, but the plan is that if all goes well, I will be headed home on Saturday --- 4 short days away!!!
During this last week in the hospital, I've had a few visitors. "Aunt" Liz and "Uncle" Trent came to visit me. They are super special people and have opened their home up to my mommy and daddy so they could be in Indianapolis more and visit me whenever they wanted. It was so nice to spend some time with them! Thanks, "Aunt" Liz and "Uncle" Trent, for taking time to visit me and for being such a blessing to my parents. 

Another friend of my mommy, Keetha, came to visit me as well, but Mommy forgot to take a picture with her camera. We'll have to ask Keetha for a copy from HER camera and get her picture on here soon. What am I supposed to call you, Keetha? I can't remember! 
Daddy has been learning how to take care of me. He has changed my diapers, fed me, cleaned around my G-tube, etc. He's learning fast! Nurse Joy put him to work today and he rose to the challenge! Mommy and Daddy will have a 24 hour stay in the parents' room in the hospital on Thursday. They will have to take over all my care without any help from the nurses. I think their MIGHT be a panic button or something in there in case they need help or have questions, but it's kind of a trial run for them before they take me home. I'm looking forward to bonding more with them during that time.
Everyone is happy with my progress. My therapists are thrilled with how my fine motor skills are improving. I like my rattles and have begun to reach for them. I really like my soccer rattle.
Please pray that all the details fall into place for me to go home by Saturday. Although I'm going to miss my nurses and doctors A LOT, I'm ready to wave goodbye to my room and trade it in for a home. Pray for Mommy and Daddy as they take over my care. I hope to be waving to your from home soon!
