Daddy finally able to feed Hunter
tiny little foot...reminded us of Madison in the NICU
His hospital bed
Bye! I'm outta here!Hunter was released from the hospital early this afternoon. We went into the recovery room - it was a sad and yet surreal sight...so many children in individual beds recovering with their parents by their side. Many cancer patients and very sick kids. It really put many things in perspective for Mark and me.
We went to Hunter's little crib and he was wide eyed and already awake. He was hooked up to many tubes and oxygen. It instantly reminded us of when Madison was in the NICU. When Mark said a big hello, Hunter smiled so big. We were so relieved! Even though we know that he won't always be so comfortable in the next few weeks, we breathed a sigh of relief when Hunter smiled his famous smile at us.
He was starving and drank several ounces of Pedialite and then they allowed him some formula. He's on three medications, with main concerns around his bladder spasms and infection. We are now home at Clareanne and Raymond's and they are treating us just like family. They are so sweet to us. Hunter is resting now. He will have a cathetar until Monday and a strict medicine regimine. We go back to the hospital on Monday and they'll assess him and remove the cathetar. Full recovery will take 2-3 months.
I'll update soon. Thanks again, friends, for all your support. We love you!

What Great News!!! I am glad you are out of there. Where is Madison?
Praising God that the surgery went well and you were able to take Hunter "home" today. I will continue to pray for his recovery to go well and that Hunter won't be in pain. I will also pray for healing for his Daddy, too. Thank you for the update...I'm not sure I would have had it together enough to post anything. You are such a strong woman.
I am glad to see that Hunter made it through the surgery.
The Lord is faithful! I am just so thrilled to hear that Hunter is doing so well. BTW, how is Mark? ~Vinny =)
