I know that you all visit here to see the latest pictures and I apologize that there aren't any new ones. We have them, but I don't have a chance this morning to upload them.
However, our news is just as important - we're coming home tonight!
We have a long day ahead of us. Daniel has to have his "little boy surgery" yet today and be monitored for that. I also have to pass the NG tube test - which requires pushing a tubing up his nose and down into his stomach :( He hates it, but it is how he has to be fed right now.
He is also coming home on Oxygen, so those tubes are up his nose as well and we get to carry around an O2 tank with us wherever we go.
I'm nervous, even though everyone tells me that they wouldn't be sending him home 7 days after open heart surgery if he wasn't ready for us to take care of him. Please pray for our transition from the hospital to home, I would truly appreciate it!
Some of you have offered to help and cook meals for us, and if there is one thing I've learned from having this horrible emergency c-section it is that I can't turn down help! If you would like to help us out with a meal, please email my sister Sarah at srburg422@yahoo.com and she will schedule a weeknight that will work. Thank you all in advance!!
Andy is currently racing around our room at the Ronald McDonald House cleaning and packing and I can still barely move, but we're looking very forward to bringing our son home.
God Bless you all and thank you so much for saying prayers for Daniel!

This is incredible news! It is amazing what God can do!
Many prayers said for Daniel and his mommy and daddy. It has been a big day, a first long car ride, and a day to find home plate. We pray for Beth's continuous healing and renewed strength, Andy's resilience through it all, and Daniel's fighting spirit.
Know that you do know everything you need to take care of Daniel. Trust your instincts. Trust Daniel. When it doubt, swaddle him and "recreate" that womb with him tightly bundled up in your arms.
Can't wait to hear more good news and to see the pictures from "home". Yeah, God!
I hope your transition went well! It's wonderful to hear how yall are so willing and eager to take on this increased parental responsibility with all the tubes and additional care. Daniel is a blessed little boy. Let this trial build your love for each other and most importantly for YHWH. May Daniel continue to grow well! Thinking of yall often, even though we have never met!
