Merry Christmas!

Wow, I can't believe it. After 40 days in the hospital, yes 40, we are home! That is right, we are home for Christmas. What an amazing present. We found out yesterday that we could come home, but I didn't want to say anything just in case it didn't happen. Last night me and Tanna slept at the Ronald McDonald house and we woke up and checked out. It is such an amazing place but I was happy to say our goodbyes. Then we made it up to the hospital where one little boy was so excited that santa came to the hospital. He was a little mad that he had to wait for mom and Tanna. Then we had our own little time together in his hospital room to spend Christmas morning together. So much fun!-------------------After presents, we had to do wound therapy and physical therapy. We also had to get all of his medications, then by that time we had to eat some lunch. Then we had a special surprise, they took Tayton up to the Air Med helicopter landing area. We say one helicopter land and take off then another one land. Tayton thought it was pretty neat. After that we hopped in the mini-van and drove home. Tayton couldn't wait to see his room. All he wanted to do the rest the day was play with toys. He had a blast. It was so fun to see him just be a boy again. He is getting so much better every day. I know that we still have a lot of recovery but we are all so happy to be home. Tanna is happy to sleep in her own bed. Tayton is not quite ready yet to sleep alone. Whatever he needs to feel safe right now is fine with me. I'm not even sure if I am ready to have him sleep alone. We go back for our checkup and therapy on Thursday. Then as of right now we will have therapy three times a week at the U of U. Hopefully he will continue to recover quickly. ------------ Thank you to everyone who have helped us get through this. There is no way we could have done this without all the love and support. I really believe that the Lord answered our prayers. Miracles do happen and this is the most amazing miracle in the world. My son is still here with us. Thank you again for all the prayers. Merry Christmas, this is one that will never be forgotton. We are so blessed. Welcome home Tayton, we are so proud of you. I love you most, mom!
