Officially HOME!!!!!!!!

My sweet baby boy finally was able to come home on December 3, 2010. He was at Primary Childrens one day shy of two months. We are thrilled beyond words to have him home getting to know his family. I love this smile:) He did come home with one tube still in his stomach to feed him but, he is so wonderful he didn't use it once. He has been able to take everything by mouth. It is a special diet but he will probably have that his whole life. That is the easy part. One month after he came home he was able to get that tube out. The Doctors said the hole in his stomach would leak for a few days and would heal within two weeks most likely. If it didn't it would have to be closed by surgery. It leaked when the tube was removed but not a bit after that. It closed almost immediately. Just another miracle of many we have received.
As you can see he is just as beautiful as my three other kids. I may be a little bias but I don't think so:)

I thought this is so cute. It was him showing his "gun show"


I don't know for sure but I think he is giving us a krusty for taking a picture of his tube. I wanted it for memory sake.
He has been home a month and a half now and is thriving. He is eating great, tube free, and is now off all his meds other than vitamins and special fats and formula. He smiles all the time, is cuing, starting to grab the toys on his mobiles, kicking, gets excited, laughs, and poops alot (you know all the normal three month old things). Now brace yourself I am going to get cheesy. We have been so very blessed since this little guy has come into our lives. I personally have learn huge lessons. I have learned how much my Heavenly Father loves me and my family, and how much others love me. I have gained leaps and bounds in my testimony. About the comfort of the Holy Ghost, about Faith, the strength of the Priesthood, service, PRAYER, and about the gospel as a whole. I know that Reggie had Angels looking out for him. We had so many doctors say that they were surprised at how well he has done. We had our bad days but overall his body mended and healed so wonderfully. Before we knew what was wrong with Reggie we were scared and Cory gave him a blessing and in that blessing it said that he would grow and develope to be a normal little boy. That gave me comfort through this process. I had Faith in that. I knew that he would be ok even though I wasn't sure what road we would have to take to get there. I have had huge blessings, seen amazing miracles, felt a great deal of love, and have a beautiful baby boy. So i think even though the last few months have been the some of the hardest of my life they have been some of the most rewarding.
