I am sitting on the couch in my pajamas. Louis is taking a nap next to me and Dan and I are toasting to Helen DeVos Children's Hospital, the incredible staff in the Pediatric ICU, the skill of Dr Haw, Dr Hillman, and Dr Giedruis, Louis' surgeons. 

Today is bittersweet. Though we have been down this road before, we are feeling confident. We are sad to leave the comfort of our hospital family, but we are overjoyed to be able to bring our baby boy home. I have never been tested in so many ways, all at once, like I have this past month. 

I have so much more to put into words. Don't worry, I will. 

Louis is the champion of my heart. His story has just begun. This will be the most merry Christmas.
