WE ARE HOME!!!!!!!!

This morning when we arrived at the hospital we started to hear rumors that it would be a good day for us! When the doctors came around for rounds, they just smiled and said, " are you ready to go home?"
Of course we broke down and said YES!!!!!

We had to go fill out paper work and wait for certain things to get down, but no one changed their mind, and here we are!!!!! It feels wonderful and scary at the same time; we are so greatful to all our nurses and doctors, we even got to have one of our favorite nurses, Erica,send us off today. She's the one that caught Bayta's O2 drop in the first place that probably saved her stomach and intestines, if not her life.

We have been blessed with so much love and support, we can't even begin to thank everyone. We love each and every one of you and are so happy to be home!

    Welcome Home, Bayta! We are all so excited that you were blessed to bring your daughter home today. We send you our love and prayers for rest and wonderful moments together as a family. Judy always sends us pictures of your boys so we know their hearts must be full of joy right now that all of you are home. We will continue to remember you all in our prayers since your journey has shown us what it means to really "walk by faith". Take care!
    Love,
    The Smith Family

    I am so happy for you guys! I have been following the blog everyday and praying that Bayta would be able to go home soon. I hope some day you guys will come out to NJ and I can meet this beautiful little girl in person. Amanda, I have never met you, but I hear a lot about you and your wonderful family. Taylor talks about her cousins, and I am sure she can not wait to meet her newest one! I am thinking of you.

    I am so glad you all are home. I know everyone in the 1st La Mesa UMC will be thrilled to here your good news. (They may also be relieved to get a respite from all my Bayta updates.) Keep us informed of her and your progress.
    Hugs and much love.

    Darick, Amanda, Bayta, Harrison, and Jackson, What an incredibly amazing time this is for you all!! I knew she would do fine, not only since she's a Hemphill (with the possible inherited constitution of a bull), but because of all the love, prayers, and hopes of everyone who has been following her progress (and your progress as well)...I can hardly wait to meet her in person...Do you suppose Allena will let me hold her? Congratulations!!! Yippee!!!! Love to all, Jacque and Richard
