WE GET TO GO HOME!!!!!!!!!! THERE IS NO PLACE LIKE HOME!!!!!!!!! HOME!!!!!!!!!
I need to keep bringing my ruby red slippers to the hospital more often!....(just kidding). Matthew is doing great. I'm going to have my CPR training in a little bit. It takes Ted about 3 hours to come from home to Indianapolis to pick us up. I'd like for him to be with me through this training, but I can always teach it to him, and the kids too. Matthew will have follow up appointments about every 2-3 weeks. They are following his weight closely. I had blogged the other day he was 11 pounds and something ounces, but hes not, hes only 4.85 kilograms, that's 10 pounds something ounces. (like my something?)
I probably won't be blogging anymore about his health unless hes put into the hospital again. Only reason being we don't have internet at home. I just love St. Vincent's Children's Hospital. Having a computer right in his room is so convenient! We are blessed with large single patient rooms, large bathroom w/ shower in this room, fold out full bed for me and Ted, (yes we both can fit on it together) and food vouchers for the gourmet cafeteria. (no McDonald's in this hospital!) I'm a bit bias, but can you blame me? This hospital is the BEST in Indiana for children! The code of ethics are posted everywhere and they stick to it. There has not been one person in Matthews care that has rubbed me wrong. I LOVE everyone in this place, even Stephany Anderson the janitor! They bring Matthew little toys and animals..its so adorable!
OK, I'm going to sign off for now. Ted and Kelly are on their way to pick me up. Tomorrow is our 18th wedding anniversary. I'm looking forward to just being with my family.
Love, Erica

Erica,
Hi! Congrats on 18 years! You're old! Ha! Just kidding!

I saw Ted at church this morning. I was glad you and Matthew got to come home. I've been praying for him lots! His little assymetrical body features are part of what makes him special! Let's just keep praying him up, and let God take care of the rest!

Ryan and Josh were so great with Jaden the other day at Kim's house. They helped him with swimming out to the boat - so cute!

Take care,
Kelsey
