Well, after 106 days in the hospital I finally get to come home to my family. I was so excited that I didn't sleep (the whole night before!) but I made up for it on the ride home. Dad and mom were a little nervous I think, but not me. I've already settled in and am pretty comfy and getting used to our house. It sure is fun to spend time with my sisters, Jocelyn and Aimee. They are so busy all the time and I love to watch them. Unfortunately I didn't get to stay away from the hospital for even 24 hours because my feeding tube fell out and we had to drive all the way back to Primary's. I was afraid they would make me stay there again; so I cried the whole way there and back. The procedure was ok, nothing I can't handle, but you won't believe this...right after we had gotten home and we were getting out of the van, the tube fell out AGAIN!!! Mom said a bad word and had to apologize to everyone and dad was pretty frustrated too. He spent a few hours trying to schedule another placement for me, this time at Mckay because I was absolutely not going to ride to Salt Lake again. So we went and the mean nurse strapped my body down way too tight but that's all in the past, because now I have my tube, I get to eat again and have all my meds (my pain ones are my favorite), and mom and dad are watching me like a hawk. Well we have more pictures to post from the last few days, but not tonight; it's storytime with my family and I am not going to miss it. Thanks everyone for praying for me...I love you

Welcome home little guy! What a long road it has been. I hope and pray that Ben continues to improve and get stronger and stronger. You are an amazing family.
I have been waiting for this post!!! I can't believe it! HOME AT LAST! What a blessing and isn't he adorable. He really is looking good. I am sure it is nice to have all of the Hamer's under the same roof for the first time! You have spent so much time away from home these past 100 + days that you probably won't even mind the fact that you can't really leave now except for the doctor runs. We are so happy for you!
Oh my....I am so so happy for you guys...I am crying! I have been so worried but i am glad you made it. When you are more healthy Bethany wants to come say hi. I have something for you and your sisters.
Welcome home! Please let us at IHH know if we can do anything for you!
Hugs & Prayers,

Yay Ben, I am so excited for you. What great news! I hope you continue to gain strength and have a great time with your sisters. Have your mom do the seahorse for you when you are feeling blue, it will cheer you right up!

Ya for Home!! I am so glad that things are going well. There really is no place like home.

Ang! I can't believe the day has finally come for your family. To be together...all together under one roof. I was talking with Brenna yesterday and we were thinking about coming down this weekend to the hospital for a visit, but we got caught up in life. Good thing I checked your blog. I just called Brenna and gave her the great news. We are both excited for you. God has blessed you more than you realize. I know you and Cody will be awesome parents to that little angel. If you need anything, call me at 801-510-6299. We love you and your family. God bless you. That picture of Ben is adorable. His eyes say it all. Relief!
Welcome home Ben! Don't worry too much about your Mommy and Daddy. They have the strength of Heavenly Father with them, He is blessing them daily. Just as he is watching over you.
Angela, I am soo happy that you are able to bring Ben home.
Cute cute cute!!!
My baby had a TX in Nov. Isn't it great what a function heart will do???
Ah, the joys of the tube. I have shoved that thing down more than I will ever like to remember.
Coming home post transplant truly is an experience all in it's own!!
Congrats.
