For those of you who are just joining us, CJ is the latest addition to our family. He was born on October 28th at 11:05 AM Due to complications in the pregnancy, he was born prematurely.
As was mentioned, CJ was born prematurely and as such he had to stay in the NICU at Marquette General Hospital. Here you can see that he was on a ventilator.
After many long weeks in the NICU, CJ was finally cleared to go home.
While the whole ordeal was torturous for all involved, it was perhaps the worst for Sam and Cynthia. If being separated from mommy and daddy for days on end wasn't enough, the simple fact that they couldn't see their baby brother should have been enough. The latter point bothered Sam more than it bothered Cynthia; in fact, shortly after CJ was born grandma went back to see him and Sam was devastated when she learned that she wasn't allowed back in the NICU. It took a lot to console.
All in all, though, both Sam and Cynthia were real troopers and as you can see in this video, mom, dad, grandmas and grandpas weren't the only ones that were uber excited to have little baby CJ home for Thanksgiving!
Thanks Giving in Deed!
