My day today started at 4:00 a.m. just like any other work day. Nothing memorable or extraordinary about that. However, I know that today will be a day I remember for the rest of my life. Work this morning was normal, my trip to the coffee shop after work was normal. It wasn't until I got to the hospital for Madeline's 11 a.m. feeding that I knew today would be special. It was special enough that I was getting to feed Madeline a bottle for lunch, just my daughter and me, special indeed! As I was changing Maddie's diaper, her doctor came over and asked me if we wanted to take her home today. Of course we did. I promptly called LeeAnn with the good news and we set about completing all the last minute preparations. By 2 p.m. we were back at the hospital and after watching two movies on CPR and SIDS and receiving a thorough briefing from the nurse we were finally on our way home with Maddie in tow. 9 long days in the NICU that have both flown by and dragged on forever have finally come to a close and we have our little baby at home with us. What a blessing, what a good God we serve. Thank you all for your prayers!
