Tender Moments

Megan was released from the hospital yesterday, without her baby. My heart was breaking for her as I heard her recount being discharged with all the other mothers who were leaving with their babies. She is staying with family in the city, but because of her c-section, she isn't able to drive for about 2 weeks, which leaves her in the hands of others to transport her which is a helpless feeling. Both she and her husband look so exhausted and of course have no real idea of how things are going to play out. Today will be a hard day for her husband, Jesse, because he has to head back to work.

 Last night, Laura and I drove to the hospital to meet up with Meg and her husband for their first of many visits to the NICU since discharge. I cannot really understand how it must feel, but I can imagine. Baby Collin was having some digestion issues, but they seem to be resolving themself, and he is off all oxygen. For being so small, he looks so perfect and so precious.

 Laura got to hold her grandson for the very first time. They allowed me to touch him with in his little isolette, but I wasn't able to hold him becuase he was starting to drop in temp after being out. Meg really wanted me to get to hold him, but I assurred her that I am already over the moon to see him in her arms and her grandma's, so I can wait until it's safe for him. We had a nice evening. Please keep them in your prayers.
