Welcome Home Ethan


Andrey and I were so excited to hear at our morning visit that we got to take Ethan home. He passed his car seat test where his oxon his own oxygen level needed to stay at 85% for two hours. He then had to be weened off the oxygen and be on his own for 24 hours. He did a great job. he passed his hearing test (we knew he would because when Andrey sneezed Ethan jumped like crazy. lol) and after getting him into his car seat, we were off. The girls were so excited when they climbed into the car from the sitters and saw a baby there. It's been a fun night with feedings, holding Ethan (the girls can't get enough of him), giving him a bath after being covered in tubes all week, and just loving him. We are so grateful for all the nurses, doctors and other employees at the NICU that helped take such good care of our little Ethan. This has been a trying week, but through the power of the priesthood, many prayers, and lots of faith, we have been able to have our prayers answered and are so blessed to welcome Ethan into our eternal family.
