It has been such a great weekend! I cannot tell you how wonderful the softball tournament was last night! I don't know how late everyone was out there but I heard a rumor that they played til 4!!! It was so neat to see everyone in their orange Porter McClain shirts! The food was great and everyone loved the raffle prizes :) There was so much love and support, I know it has forever blessed their family! I can't wait to get the final list of all the donors and teams that played! I definitely want to thank you all and I want you to SUPPORT THOSE BUSINESSES!!!! I also have to say that my favorite team by far was "Team Woody," it was definitely entertainment :) Just Kidding Boys :)
I got to see Porter McClain for a while this afternoon and they moved him into a little crib instead of the NICU bed. He looked so good today! He was wide awake and I got to help with one of his feedings :) He sucked on his paci for a while and I was so so so proud of him!!!! They are meeting with the discharge coordinator tomorrow and will then be taught exactly what to do for his feeding :) They are so excited and anxious to get him home. Please pray that everything goes according to plan! He has been spitting up a little, so pray that this is nothing more than normal baby stuff and it doesn't prolong him being released!!!
Many of you have asked me about bringing them dinner once they get home and I have decided to make a schedule starting with next Saturday so that they will for sure be home. You can email me at Jacquelyn.Ray@comcast.net and I will get you on the list! I can't begin to thank you enough. I know I write it every time I blog, but you all really are the most wonderful friends and family in the world!!!
We have talked about what we picture it being like when he comes home and Thomas has cracked me up with how he thinks it will go....bear with me on this.....You know that show Extreme Makeover Home Edition, Thomas says he invisions everyone of his friends and family in the front yard screaming and when they pull up everyone starts screaming "Move that Honda! Move that Honda! Move that Honda!" Then he holds Porter Mac up in the air and everyone starts that ugly crying, passing out, falling on their knees (You know, like the show)ha! And then Ty Pennington says, "Welcome Home Ruff Family. Welcome Home".....Doesn't that crack you up :) We will all probably be in the front yard waiting, and if you want to join us, come on, just park your car in my back yard :)
Much love to you all! I am so glad that I got to meet so many of you last night! Thank you for checking the blog and being a part of this amazing little boy's life! Jennifer said last night, "Just tell them not to change anything, cause whatever they are doing is working! Keep Praying!!! :)"
