Home with Harry

Good evening… Just a quick note to say that I’m so happy that my son, Harry, was able to come home from the hospital this evening.  It has been a marathon from the last eight days and spending the time with the NICU staff at the Grey Nuns has been amazing.  Even though Harry wasn’t as sick as some of the other babies he/we received such awesome care.  The staff cheered him on through each of his car seat studies, and took the extra time to answered all our questions.  The support we received has been really appreciated and I know that Charlotte and I will be better parents after the amount of daily discussion, tips and training we were given.

Not to really point anyone out, but a special thanks to Jackie who taught me how to change a diaper while negotiating monitor leads and IV tubing in the middle of the night.  Your patience with me as I was passing the twenty-second crazy hour that day is something I won’t forget. Now I’m a pro and don’t know what to do with myself without all the extra wires.  ;-)  Every nurse we had contributed to Harry’s success today, and we can’t say thank you enough.

Really, just a big thank you for all of the support from our family and friends.  You have been fantastic, and both Charlotte and I really appreciate everything from the positive messages, emails and voicemail to the physical help around the house to get ready for Harry.

Thank you!  Now that we are home, there will be a lot more photos and possibly some videos for you to enjoy and share along with us.
