HELENA IS HOME! HELENA IS HOME! Ok, I am going to have to brag. Not only do we have the most beautiful baby in the world, she is one tough cookie! Normally babies who have this surgery have to stay 3-4 weeks after the operation. Helena made it home in 12 days! That is not even two weeks! She is a super baby! One of Helena's surgeons said that she is a "miracle baby" which I completely agree with. Helena, Mary and I were helped by all of your prayers! I firmly believe that this is the reason why she healed so rapidly! Helena has the support of such a wonderful community! You! It is amazing and humbling to think about all the prayers and support that we have received. I want all of you to know how much this means to us and our little super hero baby. At the moment, Helena is sleeping, well.......like a baby! I think it helps that she does not have a million machines beeping in her ear. We have never seen her so relaxed! We will have a home health nurse coming a few times each week to check up on Helena. She also went home on 4 different medications to keep everything going. Her next surgery (surgery two) will be any where between 3-6 months. But for the moment we are celebrating her being home for the first time! God bless....Aaron
