One last night.



Meg and Thomas are in the Launch Pad, the room adjacent to the NICU that they get to call home for a night. They have been able to bring Michael in with them and lulled him to sleep in the rocking chair. This was Mick's first time out of the NICU and is quite monumental.

They'll be all ready to bring him home tomorrow and we are just so happy for the whole Irwin family. Michael is loving all of the special time with his mom and dad and the medical crew is comfortable with his venture home.

Way to go!

I hope Michael enjoyed his last night in the NICU. The staff must be very sad to see him go but overjoyed he is going home at last. They have been wonderful to Michael. I'm sure you are all looking forward to many fun adventures in the great outdoors. He is such a precious little babe!
The blog has become part of our daily checks...thx Caitlin brilliant job!

Have a great trip home, Michael! I know you will love your new space and that mom and dad will love having you all to themselves.

Enjoy this weekend together - it's been such a long road but I am amazed at how strong all three of you were over the last month. Thank you for letting me be a part of your journey.

Happy homecoming!!
Love, Katie
