At last! At 1:15 pm Monday afternoon, the doctor gave her final approval, and Taylor was released from the hospital! As I write this, Taylor is in her bouncey seat right behind me, fresh off a feeding, and with a nasty case of hiccups. She is a rather quiet baby, at least in comparison with other babies we’ve met. It feels so wonderful to have her home, so right. Frankly, I’m a bit at a loss for words to describe how we are feeling – to have our little miracle baby, on whose behalf countless prayers were prayed, home at last. the doctor finally did confirm Brian’s theory that Taylor is indeed a 4-week preemie, which would explain the difficulty she initially had breathing.
For all the doctors, nurses and staff at Crestwood and both Huntsville hospitals, for the family and friends who were by our sides throughout this ordeal, for everyone who has called or sent an email in support, and for everyone else who we have never met, but still took the time to check up on and pray for Taylor, Elizabeth and I, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Here are the last pictures of Taylor in the hospital, and the first of her at home, in her bouncey seat.
