Grateful.

After arriving five weeks early (weighing in at three pounds six ounces),

two surgeries (one urgent),

two trips to the emergency room (one in the back of an ambulance and one in our speeding car),

and six weeks in the hospital (including Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year) our little Sammy is home and doing well.

He's still under the care of a pulmonologist (for breathing issues) but other than that he is thriving, growing, and delighting.

And we are deeply, profoundly, eternally grateful. And still a little shaken.
