Welcome Home, Peter!
Deo gratias! He's home!!! Thank you to everyone who offered special prayers and sent us messages of encouragement, support and love. Our family is deeply honored to know so many caring people. Your prayers for Peter [and those for our sanity!] helped us tremendously through a difficult week. We are all looking forward to making this ordeal a distant memory. May God bless you all for your support and generosity.

As glad as we are to have him home, he hasn't been very interesting!

You be the judge...
A friend commented that Peter and Andrew looked a lot alike. Judge for yourself:

Peter Update...
Peter is declaring his own indepedence today. Since being admitted to the NICU, he has managed to remove himself from the ventilator, take out his IV and this morning took his feeding tube out by himself (can you tell he wants to come home?). He is now breathing entirely on his own and is no longer receiving suplemental oxygen, which means he is breathing room air. The doctors and nurses continue to see improvement and are very happy with his progress. He has developed a reputation in the NICU as one of the more fiesty babies (as his father, I have no idea where he gets a temper from... yes, you are detecting a bit of sarcasm there). Peter is eating well and is getting bottle-fed twice a day.
As to be expected, though, Peter is displaying a shade of yellow, so he is currently undergoing phototherapy for jaundice. We're not at all surprised by this. Please continue to pray for the little Peanut and his doctors and nurses. As parents, we're beyond worry now because we know everything will be fine. We're asking God for patience as we just want to bring him home. Enjoy the below pics.
