The home health care company arrived at our home shortly after we did. We are now experts at all of the machines and gadgets. Right now Gaines is sleeping, his SATS are 97 and we are trying to put all of Gaines' stuff away. In just a few minutes I will go get Reed from daycare and he will see Gaines for the first time in almost two months.
We'll post more later...below are a few pictures from this morning. The first is of Gaines smiling at us this morning when we arrived at the hospital. The second is of us as we left the hospital. The third picture is of Gaines...happy in his new digs at home.

I have been following your story from the beginning and have yet to comment...and for that, I apologize. This homecoming has been a long wait. I am sitting here thanking God that Gaines is finally home and with his family. I pray that his little lungs will soon be strong enough to no longer need the oxygen and that he will be the healthy baby boy we have all been praying for. Enjoy every moment with him. I look forward to following your story and Gaines' progress. CONGRATULATIONS!!
That has got to be an amazing feeling!! He is a gorgeous baby!!!
Congratulations on his homecoming!

I can't even remember now where I first found the link to your blog, but I have been reading since the beginning. I signed up for a Google name just to leave you a comment. I couldn't be happier for you all. He is going to be so happy to see you every day, all the time. What a sweet blessing for you all to be together. Congratulations and please continue to update us. We will understand if they are more infrequent, but you can't just cut us off from our Gaines and Reed updates :)
God bless you guys,

Best wishes for your first night at home. Praying for Gaines.
Welcome home, Gaines! He looks SO adorable and so big! It was nice to see a picture of the two of you as well. Can't wait to hear how the first few days go!
How cute is that little guy? Can't wait to see your boys together in pictures! Enjoy and try to get some sleep!
Congratulations! God is able to do immeasurably more than we could ever think or imagine. He has such awesome plans for Gaines life. Thank you for sharing this journey with us. I can't wait to see what else He has in store for your family. =)
Thank you for the wonderful start to what promises to be another beautiful day. (Actually, it's supposed to rain here, but God ALWAYS promises us rainbows, doesn't he???) You guys did well with little Gaines and he looks wonderful!!! I mean that with all of my heart! Thank you God - As always!!

Been following your story from the beginning in Connecticut. Praising God for these answered prayers! The road is not over, but what a milestone! Your baby boy is absolutely beautiful. God Bless!
Congratulations!! I'm so excited for your family. Many prayers have been answered today. God is SOOOO good:)
Gaines looks adorable!!!
Oh my goodness!! So many answered prayers! So many tears, so much joy!! How ironic...it was sure a "911" the day your water broke and the day he comes home to his family was 9-11-09! God has in Hands in this for sure all along!! We don't always understand His plan but He does! It has been a long, long journey! Can't wait to see pics of everyone together (including Jack). Will continue to pray for improvement of his lungs and NO SETBACKS! Will pray for confidence and comfort for you and Beau. Much love!
Hugs and Prayers from Millbrook (I moved)!
