Hello everyone! Laurie has had a quiet day and seems to be doing very well with her new oxygen settings--very few de-sats. Her regular nurse practitioner was not here today, so we are still working out all the details of coming home. Todd and Mom will coming up tomorrow night, while Mrs. Judy does "Cole duty" back home. On Thursday, the three of us will meet with pharmacy and be learning how to work Laurie's oxygen at home. Then Todd, Laurie, and I will room in together at the hospital to try it on our own! If everything goes well, we should be discharged on Friday! We are still not sure about the weekend plans and when we will be coming home!?! As usual Laurie will be calling the shots!!! While Laurie rested today, I spent the afternoon shopping for the essentials needed to bring a baby home-diapers, wipes, bottles etc... It is hard to believe that we are finally to that point! Please continue to pray for us during this new transition period and for travel safety as Todd and Mom come to Birmingham tomorrow!Love,
Todd, Leah, Cole, and Laurie

Leah!
What wonderful news, but yet scary for you, without the hospital staff. You are not alone, as God has shown you over the months that he is protecting and guiding all of you. And that is reassuring. We will continue to pray for little Laurie Anne's breathing, hearing and vision. We will also pray for yours and Todd's wisdom, patience and confidence as you come home to be together as a family. It is a transition, but one of many that you have learned through all of this to handle. We are so excited for you, and especially for Cole, to have his family together. We'll be checking in on you!
Love,
The McCarleys
Laurie is such a beautiful baby! You must be *tickled pink* at the thought of bringing her home after 100+ days. Wow! It's amazing how far she has come.
How did the visit with the eye doctor go?
