Day 98
Things have changed just a little. We are not going home tomorrow, we're going home Wednesday. We'll be having our own celebration of independence on July 4th. That will also be Day 100 for us! WOW! We are "rooming in" tomorrow afternoon-Wednesday morning. That is where they give the 3 of us a room in the hospital so that we can have him, but still be there if we have any questions or anything. We are still feeling lots of different emotions. We're so excited, but this wonderful step is also mixed with the emptiness we feel without Jayde. We so looked forward to bringing our twins home. We keep moving though and keep thanking GOD for the fact that we are bringing Kanyon home. We'll keep you posted!

I love what you said about your own "celebration of independence." I can only imagine the wide range of emotions the two of you are experiencing - just my opinion, but I think it's important to let yourself feel them all. I'm thankful you have such wonderful family and friends to support you through this time. Our faithful God will continue to provide healing in your hearts as well as Kanyon's body. Love you and will be continuing to pray for you...
I am so excited for you guys. You have been waiting for this step for a long time. You will do terrific job. The Lord will help you and give you the strength that you need.
Wow! What a monumental day! God has great plans for Kanyon. Just wait and see! As for Kanyon's parents, God chose the very best! Jayde and Kanyon will always be on your hearts, as both of you children will be on the hearts of all the people who have checked this blog for the last 100 days. You have been and will continue to be lifted up in prayer by our family daily. GOD IS GOOD!
What a great 4th of July! And I think that rooming in is the coolest idea... glad they do that for you guys! We're praying for you guys during this bittersweet time especially. All those emotions will just strengthen you guys as a family, so I agree with Kacy that you should just let yourselves feel them all.
I'm THRILLED for you this week!! We're praising God like crazy for His continued blessings for you guys! Love you!
Here, here Kacy (and she should know she has a degree in psychology after all! Hee! HEe!) J-me and Kory, no one is expecting you to be strong during this time, it's okay to be joyful, sad, scared, happy, frightened, longing and everything else you may feel at any given moment. Just remember to go through the emotions not around them. Jeff and I are praying for you. Jeff said today that Kanyon coming home is the greatest news we have heard in quite a long time. God bless your time! Happy 4th!
"Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise - His greatness no one can fathom. One generation will commend his works to another, they will tell of his mighty deeds." Psalm 145:3-4
Kory, Jaymie and Kanyon, through your story and because you have shared the journey with us, our stories are enhanced for generations to come. Thank you for sharing (and continuing to share) this incredible miracle.
My heart aches for Jayde as my joy soars for Kanyon. They will always be twins to us. We will not forget Kanyon's precious sister.
The circle will not be broken in eternity. Hold on to that fact!

I am absolutely overjoyed to hear the wonderful news of Kanyon's homecoming. As others have said the emotional train you guys are on is unimaginable but you guys have demonstrated more faith and strength than most will have ever have to. Thank you, thank you for allowing your friends and family to be a part of this precious time in yall's life. Keep strong and we would love to hear an update every now and then on how Kanyon continues to progress!

Sweet cousins! Today Parker (kind of out of no where) looks at me and says, Mom, how is Kanyon doing today? We have you on our hearts as you are feeling sorrow, yet rejoicing. We love you!
Congratulations!!! That is wonderful news. I am really happy for your family and that Kanyon is doing well. It is a blessing that he is coming home...I know you will cherish every moment. I do know the feeling of longing to bring home your "multiples". It does leave you with a void when you can't. (HUGS)
Adios NICU!!!!

I don't really have the right words for you concerning Jayde. I can just tell you what I picture in my mind. I see each time you hold Kanyon, Jesus is holding Jayde. Each time you kiss Kanyon, Jesus is kissing Jayde. Each time you tell Kanyon how much you love Jayde, Jesus is echoing your words to her. I am so happy for your family that Kanyon is coming home. And I am so thankful that you have a living reminder of Jayde that you can watch Kanyon and think of her with peace and love. I wish I had better words for you. I do have lots of love and prayers and hope and smiles.

Home...how sweet the sound! You will do the best you can do and learn so many parenting skills as the days progress. Kanyon has wonderful parents. Prayer works and Kanyon is living proof! K.T.
Keith and I are so happy that you are bringing your bundle of home today. What a joy to have him tube free and in our arms. I am praying for you as you transition Kanyon home and also work through the emotions on caring for him by yourself. you have been through the depths and it is so hard to stand back and see what you and Kanyon have made it through. You are all mighty warriors!
I know deeply how hard it is to have one that is already Home and too early. Today I am trusting that your sweet Jayde is resting in the arms of Jesus. I don't know if you know the Christian group Watermark but they have a song you should hear in time called " Glory Baby". It has helped me.
I am so happy for your family! I can remember that feeling of bringing home a baby from the NICU. I guess Victory through Our Jesus describes it best! Treasure the sleepless nights, the sweet burps, and changing of the diapers! They are fleeting and not always but become such wonderful memories.
My heart aches for you as your arms ache for Jayde. Please know that we (Glory Babies) are always here for you if you need to talk or just to cry.
May God continue to reign His blessings upon your family. May Kanyon grow into a man after God's heart and may His life and story continue to touch many for our Savior.
Praying for you,
Aimee Akin & Family
