We got the good news this morning in rounds.
Gideon is going home on Friday.
It hardly seems possible. I am so proud of my boy. He has fought his way here on the mountain top from such a low valley. It seems impossible that a month is gone. We have a lot of snuggling to catch up on.
God does answer all prayers. I have been praying that we would go home this week for about three weeks now. Even thought this has been a hard time, harder than I could have imagined, it has also been a blessing. What a story we will have to tell Gideon about how God has worked in his life already and he is brand new to the world.
Thank you to everyone who has prayed for us and sent us good wishes. We felt every one of them. May all your good thoughts and prayers be returned to you tenfold.
Awesome news! I knew my stubborn fellow-Taurus boy would do it!
Don’t tell God how big your mountain is. You tell the mountain how big your GOD is.
Next pic’s: Gideon in his home nursery???
Oh. I just teared up in the middle of our literacy center, confusing the heck out of our student worker.
I am so, so happy for you all. HOORAY!
You can tell that Michelle is practically singing on the inside since she seems to be using song lyrics to title every post.
Hooray! So glad for you all. Now the fun really starts!
Wonderful news for all of you. I look forward to more stories about your boy and your life as a family as you move outside the walls of the hospital.
That is amazing and wonderful news! Enjoy every moment of being home with your new little one.
Wonderful news! I’ve been reading your blog and keeping up with Gideon’s progress. Your family is an inspiration, and I can’t wait to see your boy.
Awesome news. Hope to see you all when I’m in Texas in a few weeks.
Yahoo! Congratulations on coming such a long way, and with such a rough start to parenthood! I look forward to meeting Gideon in the coming months,
Beth.
PRAISE GOD!!!
This brings tears of joy to my eyes! I am so happy to hear that he is going home. Gideon looks so good too!!
Yippee!!!!!!!!!!! I couldn’t be happier for you all and I also can’t wait to see pics of little Gideon in his own nursery at home.
Great to hear. Fab news.
Hurray! I am so glad that you’re finally going to take Gideon home!!! Good work done by ALL…
I hope that someday I’ll be able to hold, and/or entertain your wonderful little boy… I feel as if I know him, and you, Michelle, from the daily writings and the cute photos… thank you for sharing!! You must also tell him of the power of the internet which managed to keep every one informed as to his progress without you (or Reis or… ) needed to phone everyone to tell us!!! The long distance communications is fantastic… so…
Picture… big smiles and giggles!! and for Gideon, please
whisper “Hello” to him from Portland, Oregon!
My thoughts, Love and prayers will continue to come your way ~ always!
Reis’ aunt, yours, too, Michelle, if you’ll have me… and now sweet Gideon’s Grandaunt…
Bridget
