As many of you know, my son was born early (34 weeks) on Nov. 5th, however, he had fairly immature lungs even for this age. This resulted in him immediately being intubated and sent to the NICU. It was really tough on us, but we received a lot of congratulations and words of encouragement from the wonderful members here. Plus, a really nice box of R&J glass tubed "It's a boy" cigars from cigar1993 -- thanks again!

Anyway, I just wanted to post the follow-up (as several had asked). We were able to take him home fairly late last night and although hectic, it was wonderful to have him home. Seeing him sleeping this morning in his little bassinet made all the many many trips to the hospital for the last 12 days worth it. It's truly amazing (even to me as a doctor) to think that just over one week ago he was on a ventilator and receiving his "nutrition" through an IV, and now he's home! Although it has been tough and it will cost a fortune, we are really fortunate and thankful for how good we have it. This is the best Christmas present I could have hoped for.

Again, thanks to everyone here, this is great place to be!

GREAT news man! I'll be walking on eggshells the next two weeks as my wife is due Dec 4th. We MAY have to have a c-section because of a low-lying placenta, and the umbilical cord around the baby's neck. We're both hoping everything can go smoothly. Hearing a feel-good baby story gives me encouragement!
 
What a great Thanksgiving Day you will have with your new child! Best wishes for a continued healthy child.
 
Congrats. Wait it gets better. My daughter told me this week some boy kissed her at high school. Enjoy the time you have together. Never pass onthe opportunity to have him lay on your chest to nap.
 
I am glad to hear that everything is okay. Congradulations. And God Bless You and your family.
 
excellent news! just think, in no time at all you'll go from loving him all the time to wondering why you had kids. lol! J/K :cool:
 
Wonderful, congrats to you both.

My twins were 6 weeks early (3.25 and 5.35 pounds) but you'd never know that looking at them today 8 years later.
