First of all THANK YOU EVERYONE for all your support and prayers. Without those, I firmly believe we would be faced with a much different outcome. But instead, Riley was discharged today, about 11:30am, and has been checking out his new environment ever since. It was a good day, he's been great and Travis is SO excited he's home. Right now, as I am waiting for my video below to upload, Riley is lying here on the couch beside me, licking his fingers and watching the ceiling fan. Travis is snug as a bug in his bed down the hall. I've never felt so blessed before in all my life.
Hope you enjoy the little look back at the past 3.5 months in the video below:

Welcome home.

I'm sure you can hardly believe it - after 3.5 months...his first time home. I know you thought this day would never come - and how close it came at times to never happening.
I am SO happy for you. Enjoy your wonderful family and having both your boys right where they belong.

Incredible! I'm speechless, thank God you are all home now. I know the journey is not over, but you are so blessed to have had Riley and no matter what trouble he's been he's so worth it. Travis looks great as a big brother...thanks for the cry today, I needed a good one! Have fun!
YOUR HOME -- YOUR HOME! Riley, I am soo proud of you. I know your mom, dad and brother just can't even say how excited they are...YOU ARE A LITTLE HERO and soo strong RILEY. Keep growing strong. Will never forget your beautiful brown eyes.

Unbelievable, yet very true!!! I cried through the whole thing, with tears of sadness, and happiness. It is just the most beautiful thing to see your family together, at HOME, where you all belong. Riley's room is so adorable, and I'm sure he will enjoy the quiet and serenity of it.
May God enrich your beautiful family with blessings and continued happiness!!!
WELCOME HOME RILEY JAY!!!
Love and Hugs,
Dale

Wow, what a powerful video! I've never met your family yet I'm sitting here sobbing. The photos of you walking out of the hospital are what I've prayed for. Welcome home, little Riley.
What a beautiful video! The tears were just flowing. You're entire family has been through so much for the past 3.5 months. You guys deserve some R&R family style. God bless you and your family.
Lindsey and Jay, and family.

Oh wow, you guys! What a wonderful video. I have cried and cried watching it. Sad tears and happy tears. I am so happy for all of you. You all look lovely in your home together. Enjoy this special family time. You will have many incredible moments to remember forever. Riley sure is one special boy! Love all of you, Debbie and Gary
Holy cow. I did a pretty good job holding it together until the end of that video. We hope to be totally stealing this idea from you guys soon with pics of Carter being carried out the front entrance of Duke. We're dying for a reunion with Riley!
Brad
What a wonderful tribute to Riley's fight. The Connor fish bedding you have is what we almost bought for Carter, but we settled on a different one with fish!
Wow, just wow.
Much joy & happiness for you all.
May life begin!!
