Yes, you read that correctly. Sierra Rose was released from the hospital today! Fifty-two days in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit is a rough way to begin life in the outside world.
Another blessing is that J's health is much improved. R and J had some bad carpet in their house so my family helped them rip it out. He has not been coughing as much as before.
Here are some prayer requests:
-Pray that Sierra Rose will remain healthy. It would probably be better for her not to have any visitors yet, especially with cold and flu season.
-Pray that Sierra Rose will not have to be readmitted to the hospital, as is the case with many babies who are released from NICU.
-Pray for normal physical movement and eyesight.
Thank you so much for sticking with us in prayer for the past 7 1/2 weeks. Early next week I'll try to post an update regarding Sierra's future care.
