Home at Last
We were finally able to leave the hospital last night. It was a cool moment, bringing her home for the first time. Ariana was supposed to be able to leave Saturday some time but she had Jaundice (this is common with most newborns). She had to be in a light blanket all day friday. On Saturday the Jaundice was worse and the little 5 pounder dropped to 4.9. The doctor pulled out all the stops and by Sunday she was significantly better. The doctor said we could go home at that point. We praise the Lord for keeping her safe and giving the doctors wisdom.
Uncle Taylor finally got up the nerve to hold Ariana on Sunday and hasn't wanted to stop ever since.
Vanessa and Micah- Congratulations! Ariana is so precious. It's wonderful to be able to see the pictures.
