After two weeks of projectile vomit, mounds of laundry, three trips to the pediatrician, a visit to the ER, a life saving surgery and 48 hours in the hospital —
WE. ARE. HOME.
As I type my baby boy is sleeping on my chest. I just kissed his little head. I am so happy – there aren’t words.
On Monday morning, when I handed Ellis to his daddy, free from tubes and beeping medical thingers….
he cried.
This is the second time in the ten years that I have known Jan that I have seen him cry.
“I am just feeling so emotional. People have been so good to us.” are the words that tumbled out of him as he held his baby boy.
They were! (perhaps you are are one of the people who was so kind to us)
We are feeling so much gratitude.
Thank you to all of our friends and family for your prayers, your words of encouragement, your concern. Thank you for helping us with the girls as we were in the hospital with Ellis. Thank you to the brilliant surgeon who saved our little baby and to all the doctors and nurses who cared for him. Thank you to God for giving us our baby boy twice.
Once on the day he was born.
And again on the day the surgery was a success.
We love this kid!
More than we know how to express!!

Hi Eliza and Jan, I’m so glad to hear Ellis is home, and surgery was successful and miraculous. Our little guy was born just two months ago now and I can only imagine what you were going through. How precious these little souls are! You have a beautiful family, how wonderful to be their parents 🙂 All my best to you all. Nicola

To the tune of “He’s a Tramp”
He’s a champ
And we love him
Cutest smile
Ev’ry day
He’s a champ
And we love him
He will definitely
Stay that way
