Welcome Home Brenden!

Well, after another long boring day at the hospital we have finally made it home. Can you tell, Michelle is happy now?

The day was tough because Brenden came down with borderline Jaundice. They retested this morning at 6:00am, and we expected to hear results early, since they told us it only takes 1 hour for them. Time was ticking, nurses were in and out, and as of 12pm we heard nothing. I asked at the reception and they told me the results were they but they had to wait for the pediatrician to come. We waited until 3pm. Finally an RN came in and told us that we were recommended to have 1 more test done and would have to stay longer. Honestly, this was the worse news. I know it's best for the baby, but at this point when they tell you you'll most likely get to go home before noon, and now we have to stay for another test at 3pm, we expected it would take 3-4 hours at least. They said it would be an hour again. From 3 to 4pm was the longest hour ever. I tried to sleep to make it go quicker. I did, then woke up, looked at the clock and it was 3:15pm. Could it go any slower. Finally at about 4:15pm, a different RN came in. The words were sweet harmony, much like that of someone who has commited a crime and the sentence is finally over. "You're all free to go home now," was the words we wanted to hear. We did. A big sigh of relief, then the biggest smiles ever appeared as we looked at one another. "Finally," we said, "It's time for Brenden to see the world and visit his new home!" The moment we were waiting for.

Well we're here, and all we have to say is,

"Welcome home, Brenden!!!" "Welcome to your new paradise!"


Can you tell the cat is interested already?
