That's right sports fans, the redhead rounded third and did a Pete Rose headfirst dive right through the catcher and was called SAFE AT HOME! At about 5 pm today Jenna arrived at 5 Barbara Circle to the open arms of her grandmother, great grandmother, Ben, Kate and Jacie.
31 days in the hospital - 30 at Cincinnati Children's. NOW WE ARE HOME! THANK YOU GOD.
Jenna has won the hospital game and now has to do some "off season" type work at home to achieve full recovery. Recovery at home will involve playing with Ben, Kate, and Jacie to get strong and safe, sitting down around the dinner table and eating all the wonderful food that continues to arrive (May God Bless all of you abundantly), AND watching the sun come up and go down, and learn how patterns of sleep are related to the sun! All MINOR things compared to where we could be right now and where we've been. Again, we thank God for all of Jenna's progress.
It's been a long, good day of hurry up and wait. We have said our prayers of thanks and will do so a few more times tonight. Jenna is still very fragile. Please continue to pray for her continued progress (with no setbacks). Please continue to remember the staff and all the kids at Children's in your prayers (especially Nate Zembrodt's surgery tomorrow). Thanks to all from 5 Barbara Circle. (We will write a bit more later.) Continue to EXPECT GREAT THINGS!!

Wow! Can't believe this day is here. It seems as the struggle seemed just to make it through 1 day and who could afford to look any further than that. Something about those redheads! Love to all and we will continue to pray for you all.

As you described your delight-filled homecoming I kept seeing visions of "Goodnight Moon" pages turning one after another. Appreciating all the things that remind you you're HOME (pillow, teddy bear, pictures, clock) and the sacred gentle close of the day as the moon takes its turn in the sky.
Welcome home Hail family. Triumph!!!!

Missy and Luke,
From a popular ABC show on Sunday night, the closing line is "Welcome home ---- family, Welcome home." Today we insert Hail in that blank and remain in awe of God's love and majesty. From K-LOVE radio's encouraging word of the day "You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence and the pleasures of living with you forever. Psalm 16:11" Amen we say. Having Jenna back at home has to be one of the greatest feelings you've ever had. And God delivered GREAT THINGS!

YIPPEEE!!!!! So happy for all of you! Enjoy being at home, we pray Jenna recovers in her own time with no set backs and know we love you all very much. Hugs, kisses and happy thoughts! Prayers always!
A quote comes to mind... as Christopher Reeve elegantly put it, "Once you choose hope, anything's possible."
Enjoy your beautiful life back home!

Missy and Luke, I cried and smiled all the way home yesterday after seeing you and hearing that you were headed out the door. Good luck with the sleeping thing--I'm sure you all need a good night't rest. See you soon--just not at CCHMC!!!!

WooHoo! So glad to hear of the Homecoming! God is good all the time and He has certainly blessed your family in so many ways. I will keep Jenna and all of you in my prayers.
Luke and Missy,
We've been following your blog closely and keeping you all close to our hearts. We're so happy to hear that Jenna is home and look forward to hearing of her complete recovery in the coming weeks. My oldest son (who just turned 6) got so excited when I read the post about her being home. I hope he gets to meet her someday.
Best,
Ingrid Burkett & family
Great News! God Bless you all!
