Welcome home




Friday afternoon we were greeted by the "Kangaroo Crew" from Texas Children's Hospital. They were great. They loaded little Tekla up in a incubator just made for plane travel, loaded us on a jet and brought us home.

Tekla handled the trip very well. She had some minor resp. issues at high altitude, but nothing that wasn't expected. She is now tucked into her new home at the hospital where she continues to gain weight. She is now up to 3 pound 2 ozs. We even have started trying to let her take a bottle, but she hasn't quite figured that out yet.

We are just happy to have her here where we have lots of support of friends and family.

Welcome home, Sweetheart. Let's hope she graduates from a sweet potato to a Butterball!

It's wonderful that you're all home now can be so close, it's where she belongs. On a more selfish note though, I sure do miss you all! :-(...
Love you,
