Sarah's parents are at our house, so it was nice not having to think too much too soon after returning. We are pretty fried from being in the hospital for 2 1/2 weeks. You might think you can get rest in a hospital, but you would be mistaken. Between the need for meds, nurse and assistants checking in on you every few hours around the clock to checking vitals to the doctors doing their rounds around twice a day (starting at 6am), there just isn't time to relax. Needless to say we were a bit anxious to get home. So we apologize to those we left behind and did not get to say goodbye. For those doctors and nurses who are following our blog, let me just say we love you and thank you for the help and support.
For all those who continue to pray for us, I think we have just entered phase two of our trial. The surgeries are over but the wilderness still lies before us. We continue to ask you to pray for us as we continue on our journey. As for tonight though we are just happy to be together as a family unit once again.

The world should have heard us all shouting "Praise the Lord," when we found out you were going home.
ReplyDeleteIt's great to see the family together with all those smiling faces!
What a nice Anniversary present.
We will continue to pray for the next phase of the journey and just know you are not alone. It will be interesting to see how God is going to use all of this in the future.

Yay! What a great picture!
ReplyDeleteWelcome Home!! It is so great to see the smiles around the dinner table - Sarah, you look great and I am sure your children are so happy to have you home!!!! Your next journey begins and in the comfort of your home, your success will be even greater!
ReplyDeleteWelcome Home! I know it's hard to think about what lies ahead, but at least for a moment you can enjoy your family and the comfort of your home. I read your blog everyday and you are in my prayers. I liked seeing the picture of your family - your kids are beautiful and you and Sarah look great even with all you have endured the past 2.5 weeks. Stay Strong! Love, Laura (Hustead) Broughton.
ReplyDeleteYAY!!! I almost started crying looking at that picture of the family all together again! I'm so glad this day has finally come. And Sarah, you looked so much more "yourself" in that picture, I guess family is good medicine! I hope everyone rested well last night and that the adjustment to being back home with a newborn and new limitations goes smoothly. Praying for you every step of the way, and know that I'm home and available to help whenever you need it! Honestly, don't be afraid to call!

ReplyDeleteGod Bless!

ReplyDeleteHi Bob & Sarah,
ReplyDeleteSarah you look so happy to be home in that picture! You look wonderful! The kids must be pleased to have you both home. Just a quick note to let you know that we are all thinking of you. I've been faithfully checking the blog everyday for updates, and reporting to mom and dad. Glad to hear things are progressing well.
Love to all,
Cousin Becky, Dan, Elizabeth, Alexander
(Uncle Wil & Aunt Sue too!!)
Sarah, I have to tell you that it is amazing how beautiful you look after your ordeal. You have a very strong and beautiful family as well. I'm so glad you are home with your husband and babies - they must be so happy to have you back home. Cretia
ReplyDeleteBob and Sarah,
ReplyDeleteI hope you are settling in nicely at home and having good family time together. I hope you are able to get good rest and sleep now that you are home. We'll keep praying for you during this adjustment time.
Bob and Sarah,
ReplyDeleteYou continue to be in our prayers. I praise God that you're back at your home, and what a blessing having the Covills over to lend much-needed hands.
Great photos!!! Anderson is getting so big, and he looks so happy holding his baby brother.
Oh, your Russian dressing is knocked over. I just wanted you to know so you can take care of that. ;)
with lots of love,
Mark (and Shelby, Vivienne, Juliana, Caleb, and Gabriella)
I'm so happy you're home and together again as a family after all you've been through. Happy anniversary too! We'll keep praying for you as you deal with the challenges ahead. Love, Peter & Ginny
ReplyDeleteWhat a powerful story of God watching over your family! Although we've never met, I have prayed for your family at the request of a member at Brunswick United Methodist church. May God continue to work in your lives, that you may be a witness and testimony to others.
