So far Carter seems to loves his swing. Here he is just chillin'. On the floor is his pulse ox monitor, which we are supposed to have on him when he is sleeping, especially if we aren't holding him, so that if he starts choking, an alarm sounds.
Could these two look anymore like twins???
Kyra is so excited!!
We are so glad our little guy is home! The biggest adjustment is feeding him. He has to eat every 3 hours, but it takes him an hour and a half to eat...so that leaves only 90 min between feedings. Then it takes about 30 min to set up the feeds...so I think I'm going to learn to be very productive during that 1 hour break! But at least, he will be on a continuous feed from midnight to 6 am...so as long as he sleeps during those times, then we will be able to sleep as well. We have an appointment with the ENT specialist in about a week, and then he will have either another dilation, or a botox injection in about 2 weeks. We will also meet with the feeding specialist in about a week. He then will go back to the surgeons office in about 6 weeks, and get his long GT replaced with a MiKey button. They work the same way, just one is a long tube and the other is a little button looking thing that lies flat. But we will worry about all of that tomorrow...for tonight we are just happy that all of us, our entire family is under one roof. Happy day :)

horay! that is wonderful. Please please please remember we are just down the street if the day gets a little busy and you need a break. I would gladly take the kids to the park with my kids for a while or longer. so glad to hear he is doing better!
Oh Sara... I'm so glad he's home! Good luck with everything. It sounds complicated but I'm sure you'll get the hang of it! Seriously let me know if you need anything! I'm not as close as Karla, but not very far either! Hooray for your family of five!
Hi Sara it was so nice talking to you today, and im so glad that little carter is back home.
Welcome Home Carter!
Good news guys good news.
I hope things go as planned with no hiccups anymore.
Love that first pic of Karl.
I am so glad he is home. I wish we lived closer. I am sure our little boys would have so much fun playing together - they are only a week apart in age!
Huge Congratulations to all of you!! I'm really happy for you. You and Karl are so strong to be going through all this. Prayers still coming your way and take a few of those hour-long breaks to baby yourself!! Lots of love from TN.
So glad he is home. May all continue to go well.
Welcome home Carter!
I am so glad to hear it!!!!! We have all been praying in every prayer for him. The kids have been cute stating, "bless Kyra & Kyles' brother to get better so he can go home with his family." I am going to go break the news to them so they will know their prayers were answered.
Yeah!!! What wonderful news! I am so happy for you guys. Good luck with all the appointments, ect. I am so glad he is well enough to be with his family ;)
You know how to get a hold of me if you've got any questions/needs about anything!!!! So glad he's home (but sad that I don't get to hold him for hours when I'm at work :)
That's wonderful! I'm so happy Carter is home. Our whole family follows your updates about him. We hope things just keep looking up from here on out.
I've been watching your posts on Facebook but I thought I'd finally get on your blog again and check out your pictures. I'm glad you guys are all together and you have your baby home with you. You guys are in my prayers!
P.S.total sidenote: I hung out with Amanda (Bowerman) a couple nights ago and we got to talking about my first date in Las Cruces, which was on a double with you guys. Fun times!
So happy for your family!
