Today all three of us left home early to travel to Springfield for the CPS Summer Pig Show. Our niece Maddi from Ohio was participating in the show. It was a great way to spend a hot summer day. Claire had a blast playing with her cousin. Krista and I left for the hospital around noon, and left Claire with my mom so she could play more.
Kelson had a great night and day recovering from his surgery. He had a dose of tylenol after surgery, and again at 7 PM last night, but since then has not needed any pain meds. It continues to amaze us how strong our little man is. He also hasn't missed much in terms of eating, and is pretty much eating on demand, or every 4 hours, whichever comes first.
Today the doctor decided to skip a step in the formula transition, and put him on straight EnfaCare today. As long as Kelson continues to thrive we will be coming home Tuesday or Wednesday, July 3rd or 4th.
As ready as we are, it will be strange leaving the wonderful people we have grown to love in the NICU. They are truly a special class of people, and we are forever grateful to them.

Fingers are crossed, toes are crossed and talking to the man upstairs. Kelson is a special little guy. It sounds like you take all the good genes from the families Kelson is related to and that is what makes up Kelson. Look out world!

great news! want to meet him when he gets home from the hospital!
Great to hear that you have some CLOSE dates in mind! It really was bittersweet to leave the NICU. Its a pretty tight nit family in there. And those nurses really are amazing, they do such a great job! I hope they all realize they have made a huge impact on our lives. Hope you have a great day!
