ELI'S FIRST DAY OUT OF THE NURSERY AND HOSPITAL
After a few days of oxygen and IV fluids, Eli is now home with us! On Thursday night, Caleb and I walked down to the nursery to say goodnight to the little guy and noticed that his oxygen tube was not up his nose. That was crazy because his nurse that day told us that she had to turn up his oxygen because he was struggling breathing that day and then we walk down there that night and he's completely off the oxygen. The doctors told us it was going to be another 2-4 days before he would come off the oxygen that day also. The next morning we woke up and they had taken him completely off EVERYTHING. It sort of freaked us out because we had no idea where he was when we went to say good morning to us the next morning! The nurse then came up and told us he would get to spend the day in our room and maybe go home that evening. We were so thankful and excited to finally get to hold and love on him when we wanted to! We didn't get to go home that evening, but we did get to come home this morning and it has been great to have him here. Here are some pictures of what he looks like now... much better!

I am so happy you are home! What a little blessing you have! I hope you are able to get some rest and enjoy the time at home together. If you ever need anything, let me know. (I don't have all the answers but can tell you a few things that worked with our own kiddos...)

OH BLAIRE! He is gorgeous. I know that most boy babies arent supposed to be considered gorgeous but he is so pretty! Sorry, but he is! I am so happy you two are happy and can't wait to come and see him! (when all the fam leaves and you have a moment by yourself during the day, I would love to bring you and Eli lunch and hang out for a minute. I promise just one minute!) Still praying&so happy for the 3 of you! (oh, 3 not 2 anymore)
Caleb, Blaire & Eli!!!
So happy you're home together!!! He looks so alert and handsome! Looks like you've been surrounded by family and friends! We're thinking of you each day. Tom and I will be in Fayetteville this weekend for the game and we'd love to visit you and meet Eli if you guys have time! We're staying at the embassy suites, so we're not far away. And of course we'd love to help if you need anything at all- we're only a phone call away. We love you always, Kristin
Congratulations Blaire and Caleb! We are so happy for ya'll! He is so cute and is such a blessing! Great photos!
Love,
Mariah and Daniel
