Lukey comes home!

A weekend of fun in the NICU. We spent the weekend changing diapers and doing feedings. Now that Luke is on his own schedule for feeding, Lulu slept over the whole weekend at the NICU in order to breastfeed Luke. He’s doing great with the feedings. He got his feeding tube removed and only has the heart monitor attached to him, the only thing that needs to stay attached until he leaves.

After 48 hours of ab lib feeding (meaning on demand) Luke was discharged today and is now at home. Dad dressed him up in a Cubs outfit and Carlita kept looking over Luke while driving home. Today the new Kaliher clan came together for the first time. Carlita is in love with Luke and parents are excited for this new adventure. We are very blessed that Luke got better so fast. 20 days in the NICU is a short time compared to some of the other babies. We are indeed blessed. Thank you to everyone who prayed for Luke and kept us in your thoughts. Now the fun is about to begin in Lukaland!
