What a day! For the first time in two weeks we heard these magic words... favorable odds! The odds are now WITH Samuel, instead of against him! We are full of tears of joy!
If not for the follow-up words of "it's a long road ahead, with many hurdles" we would be singing from the rooftops. Regardless, we are celebrating :) Our miracle, Samuel's miracle, is happening right before our eyes.
Two of the lead pulmonologists met yesterday and discussed our little boy. Due to his body being able to lower its CO2 level, they now think there might be enough good lung for Samuel to come home one day! When our attending told me this today - I cried. Thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers! Please keep us on your list - it's a battle ahead, but do-able :)
What a week... on Tuesday Olivia had an appointment at MUSC (all is well!), so we all went to visit Samuel (thank you NNICU team!). Our babies were together again for only the second time in six months. This is what we walked away with...
A few little helping hands :)
Nothing better than baby toes!!!
Group photo - together at last, even if only for a minute :)

Thinking about you guys.
Hey guys! I have been thinking about Samual and the rest of your family since we left the NNICU world on July 1st. I see you have had some major hurdles to overcome yourselves but are on an upward swing. I am SO GLAD that things are getting better and that Samual is staying strong. Jim and I have been praying for little Samual and have added him to our church's prayer list. Please know that I think of you all often and God has a plan for you and your family. You can e-mail me anytime if you want at: whittenjh44601@yahoo.com
Take care and God Bless.
Andrew's mom, Heather
