We're free!

Colston got to leave the hospital yesterday!

We are so ecstatic and still cant believe it. 

We are back at the  Ronald McDonald house for the weekend to make sure Colston does okay outside of the hospital environment before we drive 500 miles home.  Colston has a cardiology appointment Monday morning and hopefully we will get the all clear to go home!

Tell me he is not totally comfortable outside the hospital.

Our first night last night was great. We actually feel like a family now.  We can pick Colston up whenever we want, we don't have to worry about pulling leads off or tugging on his IV. 

He truly feels like ours now. 

We could not be more thankful to the nurses and doctors we had.  Everyone took such great care of us but we want to say a special thank you to Stephanie and Susan. 

Stephanie-

I don't know if you will ever read this but you were Heaven sent. You took such great care of Colston and I loved how you would actually talk to him and interact with him. 

I will never forget that you were the one who let me hold my son for the first time. 

Susan- 

You always made time to come see us at least once a day. We saw how busy you were and you always at least peeped your head in to say hi. You always asked how we were doing and if there was anything we felt needed to be voiced. You helped us when other nurses were busy even though you were getting ready to go home and never made us feel like our concerns were invalid. 

Justin and I truly consider you guys apart of our family and we can't wait to see you guys when we come down in 5 months for Colston's next surgery.
