Today just about every baby left from our room to go home, and after watching this happen repeatedly over the last 4 weeks it's about time Cameron got his walking papers.
Cameron Briggs will finally make his way into his real home Friday June 23rd! We are very excited, nervous, and frantically running around the house to get it all in order for the little guy.
He had a full day at the hospital today - the big Circ was done - aka circumcison and then he had a good 30 minutes with the developmental nurse, which does not sound like a long time but for this little guy it was.
We have a long list of follow up appointments, and I mean long, I think in total we have over 5 different specialists we will be seeing in the coming weeks and months. I hope Cameron likes the car!! But I don't care how many appointments we need to go to it will be great to get Cameron at home with us and away from the insanity of the NICU.
We are still closely monitoring his head, it has increased in circumference a bit and the fontanel seems to be a bit fuller but neurosurgery is not overly concerned at this point. He will meet with them on July 5th for a head ultrasound and check up. He will also get his stitches out then - they took the dressing off today and it's hard to look at the incision, so maybe we'll be wearing a lot of hats until the 5th!
Please keep the prayers going that the surgery is successful!!!
Hard to believe almost exactly a month since he was born he will be at home. It will be weird not spending every day and night at Children's but such a relief to get a way from all the monitors and cords - and to actually just hold Cameron without worrying about his leads coming off and the alarms ringing that his oxygen or heart rate has dropped will be such a sweet moment.
Hopefully we're ready for all of this, I know Mom and Dad are both very scared but we'll do the best we can, just as Cameron has! Thank you again to everyone for all of your support! xoxo Mom and Dad

Excellent! Just the news I needed to hear! Now you officially can come to a Badger game in freezing weather with us! Although, the hard part will be having to realize if you want to see the bad football we went through you will have to have dad take you to an IU football game. So, glad to hear your going home and Miller I am sure is upset to be losing his crib! Take care and we hope to see you guys soon.
Love, Will, Jessie, & Anneliese
