That is fantastic news Gelan. Please pass on our congratulations to your God Din and his lovely SWMBO including wishes for a long and happy life for wee James.

Thanks guys

Woo hooo !!!

After 92 days in hospital, James is coming home today

Fantastic!! I'm happy for all of you!

The wife (you know. The one that hung up on you) says "Oooooh! He's adorable!".

Gelan, the wee tacker looks fantastic mate. Obviously Mum’s milk is very nutritious and he is thriving. Congrats to the little fellas entire family mate.

We are really happy and I cannot wait to take the little bloke hunting like I did with his dad

He is a treasure for sure!
My oldest daughter had one that survived at 21 weeks but it was a couple of years before he was looking as good as yours does! When Micha was born he looked like a "Ken" doll. So small and his lungs didn't work so good. He is a tough little guy (now 19) and nothing stops him.
At the time he was born we didn't know if he was going to survive and mom was in pretty bad shape too. She got healthy real fast but he was in NICU for a few months before they let him come home.

92 days, thats a marathon.
3 weeks going to and from the hospital after my first son was born was bad enough, how did they do 92 days?
Well a lot of the stress will now be off and they can enjoy their time with the young bloke.
Should only take him 3 or so weeks until he has them completely trained.
Good to hear hes doing well.

The biggest problem we had with Micha was that he had to learn to breathe. For four months after he was home he was on a monitor 24/7 . When he got tired of breathing the monitor would go off and we would run in to move him around so he would breathe again. Sometimes you had to give a couple of chest compressions but most of the time he would start breathing if you just moved him.
His first birthday was a big day. he was breathing normally and eating well. He was finally starting to get closer to a "normal" size and learning about the world around him. That was the first time I believed he was going to make it.
It sounds like yours is going to do well! Congrats to the whole family!
