Here are a few pictures to commemorate Shawn's big day...

Putting on his going home outfit.




Proud daddy and his little boy.
Mommy, daddy, and Shawn.


Mommy (notice that I am already tired here--it was a long night and morning) and Shawn.

Here we are again...Shawn was tired of the pictures at this point.


Putting on his jacket...almost done!


Shawn saying "See ya, suckers! Let's get outta here!"

We are having so much fun. Things are going well so far--I hope I didn't just jinx myself with that. I think we could spend hours just looking at him (our own little Shawn-o-vision).
We can't wait for Jason to join us!
Jason update:
Things are looking better and better today for Jason. He is back to bottle feedings, to his delight. He is having some apnea episodes, but the doctor feels this is just his body dealing with the anti-seizure medication (which can take anywhere from 40-200 hours to leave his system) and the sedation medication he was given.
It is challenging going to see him, though, because Shawn cannot go back in the NICU. Isaac and I are taking turns staying with Shawn and visiting Jason. I really can't complain, though, as long as he continues to improve and progress toward his own homecoming!

WOW WOW WOW!!!! SO excited and happy for you Stacie, what beautiful pictures. That one of you kissing Shawn with Isaac nestled into your neck is the BEST!! You should frame it!

Shawn is absolutely adorable :D The five of us are so happy for you! Are you sleep deprived yet?

Our guys had the apnea too before they went home. Each episode meant that it was a little longer. We hated that.

That's a shame that you can't bring Shawn back...our special care nursery that the boys were discharged from let us bring them back when we visited the remaining triplets who were still incarcerated there. Maybe it depends on whether it's a special care nursery or a full-blown NICU...I'm not sure. Well, Jason just has to get home quickly to get reunited with his brother :D Hurray!

Thank you for your support. With so much going on in your world.. you taking the time to comment means a lot to me... Have a wonderful evening with Shawn and I will pray Jason comes home to join you asap!

You both are beaming! What a long hard road but Shawn is finally home! I'm so happy for you all and keeping Jason in my prayers. Poor little guy. I just sit here and cry thinking of all his tiny body is going through.
