Kayleigh came home today! Mom and Dad are nervous but very excited. This is the first time in a couple of weeks that she's been completely untethered, with no monitors or tubes hooked up to her. She is currently sleeping soundly in her swing.
Thanks to everyone for all of the thoughts, prayers, and gifts. We've received a tremendous amount of support from family and friends as well as many people that we don't even know, and we appreciate it very much. There will still be many challenges ahead, but we know now that we'll be able to handle them.

Yay!!! I am so excited that Miss Kayleigh came home!!!!! She is just adorable, Laurie...I can't wait to meet her...You let me know if you need ANYTHING...seriously, even if it's to take Shadow off your hands for a few hours (Honey could use another furry friend to play with)...Let me know if you need anything!
What a wonderful surprise!! I just finished writing you a note from the previous post, and when I went back to see if it had been sent, there was new picture of you at home on your very own changing table! Welcome to a home filled with love, Kayleigh. Your mom and dad will take very good care of you there.
We all love you so much and can't wait to come visit.

Yeah! Go, Kayleigh, go! Welcome home :)
How wonderful for all of you that your young family is now together at your home! We know that you will be able to work everything out for the best. Kayleigh is very lucky to have such great parents and an equally great extended family for a support group. Our prayers and best wishes continue to be with you all.
Welcome home, Kayleigh!! Now the fun begins.........Hang in the Laurie and Kevin, you've already conquered the biggest hurdle of all. Now that Kayleigh is home, enjoy your beautiful little girl. You will all continue to be in our daily prayers as all the family members are. Hope to meet Miss Kayleigh on our next trip to Ohio. I know Grandma and Grandpa Rickert will keep us up to date on her progress. Thanks for sharing the blog with us all.

Congratulations, Kayleigh! 'Bout time you got to your own place. Make sure those 2 servant people take good care of you!
Kevin, Laurie, & Kayleigh,
I am Grandma Rickert's friend Diana Butcher. Congratulations to
all of you. What an adorable little girl and wonderful loving
parents. I have been praying for all of you and lighting candles.
Thank you for sharing your progress
with everyone. She is one special
little girl. I am so glad things are going so well. Good luck to all
of you.
HI All --- I'm sure it was a grand homecoming for such a sweet baby girl. Congratulations and best wishes for some rest for all of you.
We're very happy to hear this wonderful news.

Yippee! So glad Kayleigh is eating
without a feeding tube-she can suck, breathe and swallow all at the same time!
Congratulations, Kayleigh, on coming home! I'm sure you got to watch your first Buckeyes' victory on Saturday! Keep up the good work, Laurie and Kevin. I hope to see you guys soon!

Hi Kayleigh,
I am so glad you finally made it home. I heard so much about you when you were in mommy's belly. I had to wait an extra long time to meet you, and I can't wait until you are big enough to play ball with me.
Love your buddy, Shadow
Congratulations on having your beautiful daughter home with you! What a cutie. Rest up and enjoy these days when she sleeps alot - once she is mobile the race is on :).
