and so yesterday was the final time that we had to drive to and from the hospital in order to interact with our son. it was a beautiful thing. to see his monitor on standby, with no wires attached to his chunky little torso. he just laid there with his arms wide open so as to say, "here i am, take me home." and so we did, with fear and trepidation. a child who by some stretches shouldn't even be alive today, whose fate we anticipated from day to day, hour to hour. 107 days in one building, he had a half confused, half scared look on his beautiful face as he approached the sunlight and entered the backseat.
now we're home and he's such a good natured little boy. he also is blessed with the most loving, gentle, and interested big brother. malachi loves him to pieces. now we learn to adjust with and two bodies, minds, and souls for which to care. conley is an incredibly loud sleeper with continual grunting and noisiness. we'd appreciate any more prayers you could muster up for him to get over the acid reflux he's struggled with and for us to get some good solid rest. we are incredibly thankful to God and indebted both to Him and you as you have ceaselessly prayed for us and our little man. thanks for being part of this miracle. we'll continue to update since this is not an end, but surely, a beginning. we'll continue one day at a time.
-immeasurable love-

PRAISE GOD-CONLEY LOOKS WONDERFUL!!The pictures brought tears to my eyes. I remember the exact minute Dorie called me at work to tell me that he had arrived. She said, "He was delivered at 1:08 PM and weighed 1 lb. 8 ozs." I cried then too, but had the most overwhelming feeling that all would be well and that Conley would live. We share your joy and hope to get in a quick visit in Oct. before the wedding activities. Take good care of yourselves and give the boys kisses from the south. Continued prayers from the south, Jan
