This Just In

I just got off the phone with Adrienne, and Benjamin's doctor said that Ben could go home tomorrow (Tuesday) if he passes his sleep study! Ben has been cramming for this test all day by staying wide awake and drinking lots of coffee so that he'll be totally exhausted when test-time rolls around. Here are a few more photos to keep you occupied until we know whether he passed his final.

Whit, did you mean tomorrow as in Monday or tomorrorw as in Tuesday. I am confused. Either way I am sure that all of the good training that Ben has had will ensure a passage of the test. We are so excited and continue to give thanks and praises to God. What a wonderful way to start the week. The pictures are wonderful. He has grown so much and you and Adrienne are awesome looking. God bless and keep you. We love you. Hang in there Ben. You can Pass the test. Love ya, Joe, Vickie, and Aaron

Oh my goodness. He is so much bigger! And look at the hair! Thank you for the photos. His Aunty Shell looks pretty happy to be holding the little mischief maker. We miss you all.
Love and hugs,

I am so happy to hear that Ben is on his way home. I am an NICU nurse and was in the delivery room the day he was born. I prayed for your beautiful baby as we worked to save his life. I also prayed for you and your family that God would help you cope with what I anticipated would be a much different situation than you one you have today.
Praise God that faith can surpass my limited expectations. Ben is truly a miracle. Thank you for your faith and hopefulness that allowed me to witness such a miracle in a profession where there are too few.
I am in awe of our God who can and chooses to do such things to allow us to witness his love and neverending faithfulness.
Congratulations on your wonderful baby boy!
