They have a check list of 'to-do' items that he needs to pass before they will discharge him. He has to have another hearing screening, another scan to check his heart, pass the car seat test (to make sure he can handle sitting in a car seat for long periods of time...like an hour), he needs to be given the opportunity to use a Haberman bottle (special bottle for children with cleft lip/palate) and have a vocal chord check (he sounds pretty raspy right now and they want to check it...very common when you have had a breathing tube in!). Once he checks everything off his list, he will be discharged! Hoping to knock a few of those off the list tomorrow!! Here are a couple of pictures that Sabrina sent me today!! He's dressed in jammies for the first time ever! Plus, she gets to hold him and cuddle him whenever she wants to now!!
Look who has his eyes open!!! And real clothes on!! Wahooo!
Surrounded by love! Beautiful quilt made by a volunteer at the hospital. Sweet little lamb also made with love by someone from the adoption agency. Cara, from the agency showed up at the hospital today with a care package today for Sabrina and Zachary! So very sweet of them! She had other visitors this weekend who also brought 'care packages' for her and she was touched by the thoughtfulness!
Snuggled in his sister's arms!

Every time I see a picture of him sleeping so sweetly I just want to cry--I am so thrilled for him and for you guys! Inspired by your family, I was pondering my life the other day and the Spirit spoke to me. We are going to become foster parents! It is something we have always planned on doing, but the timing never seemed right. I realized that the timing will never be "right" because we will always have something going on. So we're doing it now! We've submitted our application and started the background check. Next week we have an information meeting, and then we'll start our 27 hours of classes and the home study. We are so excited!
SANDI!!!!! That made me cry!!!! I am soooo excited for your family!! What a blessing your family will be in the lives of those children! Keep me posted on your progress!!
