We have good news!!! Our sweet little Cade boy is finally HOME! :)
After 8 weeks (56 days) in the NICU, our precious boy is home! Cade
did marvelous this weekend with all his feedings and for the past week
has been doing especially great! So, this afternoon, we said our
goodbyes at the hospital (which was hard!) and packed the little guy
into his carseat for the first time!! He is up to 6 lbs 12.1 ounces
and is 19 1/4" long! He passed his developmental, hearing, and eye
tests with flying colors!! He is just the sweetest thing, he just
wanted to meet us 9 1/2 weeks early!

You can continue to pray for us as we adjust to life with a baby at
home! Having the nurses and doctors always available to answer to our
every question was nice, so it will be an adjustment being home! We
will just have to continue to trust the Lord with Cade's life! It has
been a blessing because Julie has had 8 weeks to fully recover from
the surgery and rest up (even though she was still up every three
hours! Now, it will be waking up to a baby, not an alarm clock!)

We are so thankful for our little boy and even though this road has
been tough, we praise the Lord for what he has done in our lives and
the things he has taught us throughout this experience... Thank you so
much for all the love and support that you have shown to our family...
Thank you for the prayers! We greatly appreciate it!!

As for visitors, just give us a call. We are going to have to be very
conservative with people holding and touching him, so you can come and
look at him if you'd like!! :) Just call Ian and arrange a time! Thanks!

With Love,
Ian, Julie, and Cade Martin
