Although we knew the girls were going back to Fresno soon, a few things changed along the way. They left today, Thursday April 23, they left by helicopter and they went to Children's Hospital of Central California. I am starting at the end of the day and working my way back. This is Clara leaving the hallowed halls of Lucile Packard.
Katie is giving her touch that says have a safe journey and I will see you soon.
Clara is all bundled and ready for her first helicopter ride.
Staff from Children's is getting her ready to go as Katie looks on.
Gloria wishes her a safe journey. Oh, how we will miss our nurses!

We will miss you so much!

Wow! Things are moving fast! What fantastic news. We're happy they are one step closer to being home. So nice to have family so close now. :-)
Love, Lane & Mandy
I can't even imagine all the emotions sending the girls off in a helicopter and saying goodbyes! Wonderful and crazy and scary - something like that! I love you all and them so much...yikes I'm starting to cry! Must be the pregnancy hormones.

Such an exciting day for everybody! These million dollar babies are so loved by so many. Gr-grandma Iva has to get rid of the "frog" in her throat so she can go greet them.
Welcome home! Love to all.
j & k,
watching you two go through this time has been such a blessing and an encouragement to my heart.
our hearts are overwhelmed with thankfulness to God for answering so many prayers for you and the girls.
thank you for the daily postings....it's as if we are right there with you guys on this incredible journey.
Such great news! We'll continue to pray for more great blessings.
So happy that things are going well and that you will be closer to home!
Olivia and Clara look absolutley beautiful and ready for their big trip to Fresno. Congratulations!! They're a step closer to going home...how exciting and emotional!
Love, Chantal
Katie and Jeremy,
What can I say...I miss the girls already!I am so sad to have not been at work when you all left and not have said our goodbyes (I probably would've cried..)
It was such a pleasure to have taken care of Clara during her stay at Stanford. Every time I went to work I looked forward to it, because the girls progressed as the days went by, it was so rewarding. I also learned so much from both of you; I was totally impressed by your dedication and love towards your babies and each other, and the amazing support of your relatives.
I will always think of you and will be waiting for the time we see each other again. Bye for now!
With much love,
Analia (Clara's primary nurse at LPCH)
What a whirlwind day! Mom, dad, and both of the girls look great. What a beautiful family you have. Glad to have you home. Love you lots.
I totally miss the girls and you guys!! =( I didn't get to say goodbye to Clara, had a really crazy day that night she left.

Best wishes to your entire family, you all are such wonderful people and I am honored to have met you all and cared for your little girls!! Come back and visit soon! Miss you guys! Love you all, take care until we meet again! =)
