Something We've Been Hoping For

On Monday, February 21 Abigail Elise Tettleton was born.  She has spent the past 90 days in the NICU. On Monday, May 23, if all goes as planned, she will be released to go HOME. We are somewhat hesitant to announce it because we know what can happen in a few days time.  But when Monday comes, and we are really walking out the doors, then we will take a moment to rejoice.  And believe me, we will rejoice! 
We will say goodbye to this scary but amazing place!
We have spent the past few days arranging outpatient doctor visits and trying to get things in order.  Miss Abigail will be a busy bee for a long time to come with doctors and therapists and who knows what else. The tentative plan is to Room-In on Sunday and be discharged Monday.  Rooming In is part of the process to leave the NICU and will include us doing all of Abby's care.  
She will leave her castle and all of her crying friends.
She will move in here and meet her good bud Cooper!
We would like to once again express our gratitude for your diligent prayers for our daughter and our family. This is great news and we are so thankful for it but please continue to keep Abigail in your prayers.

What joyous news! We will pray that all goes well and that she gets to go home on Monday. We'll also continue to pray as you settle in with a new routine. You two have shown such amazing strength, courage, and faith during all that you have faced so far. You'll be able to handle the rest, too.
