Speechless

Well, we decided to let the following picture do most of the talking for us in this blog entry.


Incredibly, Gwendolyn's recovery accelerated so much that they decided to discharge her today. We'll have several appointments and followups these next few weeks but instead of boring you with those details today, we are simply going to bask in the amazing fact that our family is once again complete!


Tomorrow would have been the two-month anniversary of Gwen getting admitted to the hospital this go around. Luckily, we'll be marking that date (which also happens to be the girls' three-month milestone) at home. We honestly couldn't believe it when the doctor told us that if the plastic surgeon was okay with it, he thought she was ready to come home with us.

While this surprising reunion was most welcomed, it wouldn't have been possible if not for the support we've been offered by all of you. While our sincerest thanks is all we can offer in return, know that we appreciate all of you for everything that you did to get us through this difficult time.

Dreams do come true we guess!!!
