Home Sweet Home

We are home! We have been home since about 1:30 this afternoon and it does feel good to be here and to have our family back together again.
Asher was amazing while we were with Tatum..we are so proud of him. Being away from us is not always easy for him but he did GREAT!
Tatum is amazing. We found out late in the day on the day of surgery that her epidural was leaking the medicine out of the insertion site. So, there is a good chance she was getting very little, if any, pain medication all day. You never would have known....must have a high pain tolerance like her mommy!
The final hurdle to coming home was getting her to walk. She had the IV in her foot so there was NO way she was going to walk until that was out...and the band-aid was off. That happened this morning and there has been no stopping her since.

Thank you for all of your thoughts and prayers. We have been truly blessed this week.

We're so glad you are home! It brought me so much joy to see you walking around today. You'll be running in no time.

I love you Tatum... and I think you're the toughest little girl I know. You're my hero! :)
