First Day Home

Coleman did really well her first day home. She took a couple of naps in her swing and has been eating like there's no tomorrow. Guess she feels she needs to make up for lost meals. Daddy got some rest today too and that was nice! Mommy didn't take any naps but maybe she will tomorrow.
We put Coleman down on her play-mat today and she rolled over and pushed up with her arms. It didn't seem to hurt her until she came back down. The doctors said she was "self-limited", meaning if it hurts she won't do it. So I guess it didn't hurt too bad because she tried it again.
We go back to the doctor tomorrow for a check up, and then to the cardiologist on Thursday to make sure everything is still healing correctly.
We are praying for Coleman to have (of all things) a pooped diaper. She had one after surgery but has not had one since. It could the a major blow out when it happens, but we need for her to have one. (I know its a strange prayer request, but it needs to happen)
Thanks again for all the prayers and encouraging words, we have been truly blessed. We will continue this blog to update folks on Coleman and on the boys. Now that the surgery is behind us I will be talking more about the boys too and posting some pictures.
I also ask that you continue to pray for the two little boys we met in the hospital Baby Chester and Gabe and their families. We didn't get to say good bye to the families but are hoping to check in on them on Thursday when we are back down at the hospital.
We love you all and can't say thank you enough for your prayers.
In Him
Scott

This would not be the first time our small group prayed for a poopoo! I remember when our small group leader had that request for their baby. . .

Hi Scott and Meghan! Claude and I have been following Coleman's recovery and were awe struck that she is home and doing pushups already! : )
How amazing that God made your little girl with such strength and resilience!
We'll continue to pray and praise God for the work He is doing through her! And we'll pray for the poop to go through her too. : )
Blessings,
Jewel, Claude, Noah and Chi
