"Below you'll find a series of stories about Ammon, our little miracle boy, around the time of his birth. We still have friends and family that chance upon these posts and are amazed, just like we constantly are, about all things Ammon. These posts are only the beginning, please click on the "Ammon" label for additional inspiring stories about this precious kid."
We received a call from the doctor on Christmas Eve that Ammon was ready to come home. We were so excited and shocked. I thought he had a few more weeks but all he had to do was drink a 2oz bottle. He surprised everyone and did it last week. He has made huge progress as far as eating and breathing over the last week. Brian and I spent the night at the hospital on Monday in the bonding room. It is like a trial night right across the hall from the NICU. Everything went well and Ammon has been great this whole week at home. He is still on oxygen, so we have a heart rate and respitory rate monitor. They took out his feeding tube and i have started to try to nurse him. It's hard work for him, just like everything else has been, so i am confident he will eventually get the hang of it. Overall he is a great baby already on a 2month old schedule, but similar development to a newborn. He is now 4lbs 12oz and 18in long. Our cute little miracle is home.
