Baby Blues

Today Liz was discharged from the hospital. It is a bittersweet thing because our son is still there, which will make seeing him more difficult. We will not have the little "field base" that we had when Liz had a room in the building. Now we both have to come home to sleep, eat, shower, etc... and we have to figure that out in light of me working, and her recovering.

However, it does mean that we get a real bed again. I can tell you, that little hospital cot that I was sleeping on was getting more painful by the day. Soon, I am sure that I would have to have been admitted myself due to severe back problems.

On a different note, Elijah is undergoing light therapy to fix the jaudice that he is experiencing. Poor little guy had no chane: dad had jaundice as a baby, sister had it, and he is a premie, which means that not getting it would have been amazing! Which is not too bad though, he gets to relax in a nice warm "tanning" booth for the next day or so. Wish I was so lucky...

Hey guys--email me or call 206-375-0704. I have some things for you (and if you need to talk, I've BTDT with the preemie thing, and I can show you a great looking 6 and 2/3 year old who was born at 34.5 weeks)! We'd love to come see you (I have what I can't distinguish between cold and allergies at the moment, so I won't get close...) Email me your address, maybe?

Once Elijah is home, I'd like to bring you a meal! Let me know!
