WE ARE HOME!!!

We are finally home, hopefully for good this time. The Dr. said Dominick may still have diarrhea and be contagious for another week or so. He seems to be feeling a lot better and it is so good to be at home. He is such a blessing. Jon and I are quickly learning what parenthood is like..although it is tiring, I'm loving it! Here are some pictures of Dominick in the hospital.

Dominick was lethargic when we first got him to the hospital.

This is what Dominick usually does when his Dada tries to hold him. Notice his little split on his left hand.

Dominick in his hospital gown.

This is Dominick's favorite place to sleep, in his stroller. That is how his foster mother would put him to sleep.

A close up of Dominick's splint. It didn't slow him down a bit. He figured out how to use that hand with the thumb not taped down to grasp things.

This is when Mama finally gets a tiny bit of rest, Thank You Jesus!

I am so glad you're all home! He's already a trooper. And those eyelashes in the last picture!! I am insanely jealous. What a cutie! Thanks for the update.

My Dominic was in the hospital with rotovirus right after we got home, too! Too funny (well, not really funny but a coincidence!) Hope he feels better soon!

He is so precious. I am so glad that he is doing better. Sadly it seems to be very common for the babies to get sick when they come home. I think it is all the germs in the hotels. Anyway... so good that he is home. Angel

Poor Baby!!! It is a shame he had to indure all of this right when he gets home. But, thank God he is doing better and he is home again. Hang in there Mom. This is the first of many heartbreaks a Mom goes through. Hopefully, everyone will get some sleep tonight.
