Blessed

I have never felt so blessed. Never. Ever.

I am sitting in the NICU right now watching my husband hold our son. My heart is overflowing.
Tonight, we get to stay at the hospital with Ben. He is doing well and as long as nothing changes with his health, he will get to come home with us tomorrow!!!

We will follow up with a pediatric cardiologist this week, but are hopeful that all of his cardiac issues are minor and will not need intervention.

I cannot wait to get this sweet boy home with us. You know there will be many pictures to follow soon!

    Our God is an awesome God!!! I am so happy for you. I can't wait to hear the whole story and see God's hand at work. My daughter has prayed for you faithfully every night since you lost your first daughter. What a great lesson in faith for her. You will be such amazing parents. What a lucky boy. He will have such a wonderful life with you two and your whole family. I miss you very much. I share in your tears of joy. Congrats Jennifer and Rusty. Our prayers continue to be with you and Benjamin.
