Landon has been paroled, for good behavior! He’s home, he’s happy, and so are we. It was a long night but we all made it through! We’d like to share with you some pictures (of course) and a poem that Landon wrote for his outstanding NICU team.
Through the Eyes of Landon: Â
No more Wires
No more Pokes
No more freezing Stethoscopes
No more Beeping
Or Blood Gas
No more life in Plexiglas
No more CPAP
No more Crits
No more neighbor baby …. Fits
No more Tubing
Or Pulse Ox
No more warm Isolet Box
No more Bagging
Or Desats
No more Volunteer made Hats
No more Oil
In my Feeds
No more pulling off my Leads
No more Bradies
Or Head Scans
No more changing doctor’s Plans
I’M GOING HOME
I’M FREE AT LAST
MY NICU LIFE IS IN THE PAST!
Mom thought it would be funny for dad to ride out with Landon:
Here’s Landon in his carseat for the lengthy 3 minute trip home: 
Landon with Mom in his bedroom: 
Two pictures of Lando in his crib:
A tiscket a tasket, L-Dizzle in a basket: (by the way what the hay is a tiscket and a tasket anyway)
Hope that’s enough pictures for you!!
He is so cute! I see you have a little bit of Omi in you, nice poem! So glad you are all safe and cozy at home.
Love,
Bri, Kelly, Em, and Zach
How wonderful that you are now in your own home! Landon looks wonderful..cute and healthy! Cute poem, Jay, such talent! I bet you two are just filled with emotion and happiness! I am so very happy for you! Jo
Wonderful! I am so happy for EVERYONE!! I can’t believe you put him down long enough to take all those pictures. Take good care of him (and yourselves) and have fun. Time will fly so enjoy every second. Talk soon. Love, Suzanne
Hey Jay. After your little lecture on the time change, it was funny to see the time on your blog is an hour slow!
This is great! Notice that he likes to sleep in the “Champion” position (hands raised towards sky)? I wonder if hes dreaming of coming in 1st.
Welcome home sweet pea! Our family is so blessed. We love you Landon. Love Cuz B, Tom and Shaelah
I’m so happy for you guys! Landon looks peaceful. Hopefully you will get some rest and enjoy every morsel of him. Last night I had drinks with Lindy in NY! We went down memory lane. Sarah – if you see Lindy, she owes you a hug from me.
Love,
Julia
yes! He’s home! and he is looking ABSOLUTELY adorable!!!!!

Jessenia, Dan, Noah and Luckie
Love your poem, little Landy!!! and the pictures. Now I can’t get off the computer because I keep having to check how your first night at home went. You have regular baby cheeks already, just can’t wait to see them in person and maybe hold you, and whisper all my wishes for you into your little ear… and maybe some songs and stories about your heritage, and maybe we’ll even discuss what life is all about and what you can do about making it The Best for you and the world around you. Love U – little guy! your omiGG
I am so excited that Landon was able to go home. Congrats to everyone!
I love that he’s home–and that he’s taking it so calmly. Car seat: worth sleeping through. Crib: good for sleeping. Basket: great for napping. He looks terrific, pink and healthy in every shot. Congratulations!
How wonderful you are home at last!
WAH-HOOOOOOO!!!
[applause, applause, applause, standing-O, applause, applause!]
