After 12 days in the hospital, Benjamin has put up with quite a bit. He is a fighter! He was taken of the ventilator twice (!) and had a rough time because he was intubated for so long. The doctors hoped his ventilation would only be needed for one to two days but he ended up being on a ventilator a full week. He was one of the sickest babies in the ICU but also one of the most loved. You should have seen everyone who came to bid him good-bye when we were sent out of the ICU! He is a rock-star! Benji is such a sweet boy and we are happy to have him feeling better. We are also happy to be home!!!
When Wilson and Benjamin were reunited it was so sweet to see them recognize each other and both of them break out into huge smiles and giggles. I love my little boys so much! Thank you everyone who helped us through this tough time. We count our blessings every day.

I am so happy to hear Benji is home and doing better!
I am so happy to hear that everything has turned out so well. It is quite distressing to have our children so sick.
I got an update from your mom and she told me he was finally doing better and was coming home.
Thank goodness.
I do love the creative way you expressed the difficulty that Benji had in the hospital.
What a good way to present the situation. I'm so glad he's ok and home. It's so scary when kids get sick. I'm so thankful everything turned out the way it did.
How are you guys doing?
