Thanks Tom! We feel so thankful for every small thing, like holding her without the wires or worrying about TPN lines anymore! We really appreciate your support through this entire thing!

Thank God!!! I'm so glad to read this. And I can imagine that both of you are very, very happy to have your little baby disconnected and free to carry, touch and hold. May God bless you all as you go through life, and as Caitlin grows bigger and stronger.

I came to this blog after seeing a submission to my blog carnival. I just wanted to share with you happiness that your daughter is home. I was born at 28 weeks, and endured a 35 day stay in the NICU, to very young teenage parents in '85. I have a mild case of cerebral palsy, and otherwise am fine. It doesn't stop me from leading a productive life, and I'm very thankful to be here. Caitlin will enjoy life so much more when she realizes how hard she fought in the beginning.

That's a beautiful photo montage and a perfect ending to the last 23 days. I can't believe it's been that long! You and your family should be extremely proud of yourselves. I really appreciate your openness regarding this ordeal, smiles and tears, happiness and sadness. That's the sign of a real man. Thank you for breaking the mold.

Welcome home Caitlin!

I understand completely Ed, and it was hard to write about it too. Part of me felt like it was therapeutic, but another part of me just wanted to forget each day and look forward. Now that it's over, I'm glad that I captured it for the future. Thanks again for your support!
