Almost 15 months after being born, Ty is finally where he belongs... HOME!!
Ty worked so hard and finally made it! He's doing so great at home with his family! I've never seen him so happy and playful! It's like he knows that this is where he's supposed to be!
It's been crazy at home... getting nursing care set up and supplies and adjusting to being home. It's been hard on all of us, but wonderful at the same time!
We couldn't have done it without the support of everyone! We got a lot of help along the way that made it possible for us to be able to stay in Iowa City while keeping our house in Port Byron. I can't even begin to thank everyone!
With a lot of help from God, our families, neighbors, friends, nurses and doctors we made it!
Now we just have to be very careful to keep Ty and all of us healthy. The next year is going to be critical to all of us. With the upcoming cold/flu season, we have to take extra precautions to keep clean and healthy.
The doctors all told us that Ty has made tremendous improvements and should be able to have a happy, healthy life.
With the nursing care that we will be receiving, and a lot of hard work we hope to be able to give Ty the happy, healthy life that he deserves.
Lindsay has had the hardest time adjusting. She's getting a new house, with a new room, and new people, and getting used to having Ty around all the time. She's working hard and will just be a matter of time before she's used to everything.
Thank you to everyone who has gone out of their way to help us. Also a HUGE thank you to the doctors and nurses that took care of Ty and helped him get this far! Ty wouldn't be alive if it weren't for them!
Please enjoy the pictures that I have posted below and continue to follow their progress on line and through e-mail.
Also please sign the guestbook below and we'll make sure that Ty gets all the messages! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
