going home tomorrow...

now the HARDEST part. we have to go home and say goodbye. no doubt i will be here everyday, but ugh, leaving little anthon here is so sad and scary. but he is in good hands and i trust that he will be fine. he is still doing really well for a baby his age. most of the nurses have been so very positive about his progress thus far. we have been told that if he stays the course he will most likely be home for christmas. so now the countdown begins. anyone want to make an advent calendar? anyway, all the countdown support we can get would be great. we are going to see anthon right now, so i may have more updates later tonight. thanks to everyone for your love and prayers and comments. this is the craziest thing that has happened to us, sort of surreal. its great to have such an amazing support system. more later. maybe some pics.

You forgot to mention one part, going home tomorrow means you are healthy!!! That is great news Allison! You need to be strong and healthy for your new baby boy. I am glad to hear you are doing well enough to go home. The healthier you are the more you will be able to love and support Anthon!

I completely agree that it is great news your health is well enough that you can go home. You do need to have the energy and strength to care for your newest addition. I am glad you have spent enough time at the hospital to gain confidence in the staff and can leave Anthon, knowing full well he is really cared for like you would hope. I am so sorry that you do have to leave him there. It is a sick feeling, but I hope knowing each day he gets stronger and closer to coming home, maybe will bring you peace. I love you.

Like your baby/christmas count down thingy. Glad you were able to go home and sleep in your own bed. I know you like that! Hope you continue to heal and get stronger, as well as Anthon. I read up on all the stuff I could find about a 27 week and sounds like Anthon is doing just what he is supposed to. Hope to see you soon.
