HOMECOMING - DAY 95

We thought it would be appropriate on the day of Austin's homecoming to remember just how far he has come over the past 95 days! This picture of Austin was from his birthday (June 9) when he weighed 630 grams and was clinging to life.

And here is Austin now, gearing up for his first car ride weighing 2135 grams. This day has been filled with all sorts of emotion. It is hard to put our feelings into words. We are so thankful and amazed by the miracle that God performed before our eyes. We can't thank Austin's support club enough. We are so grateful for the prayers that were offered up for Austin over the past 14 weeks. Andrew, Abbie and Audrey were so excited to have Austin in the car with us on the way home. It was a car ride that we will never forget.

We'll continue to post updates along the way. I can't promise it will be daily...
