Getting Ready to Come Home

26. Apr, 2009 3 Comments

Rachel is doing great and everyone was cleared to go home. Jesse had a slightly elevated bilirubin count which put him at risk for hepatitis and both of them had lost a little too much weight, but they are doing much better and the doctor cleared them to go home. So after a short three day stay in the hospital everyone is ready to come home.

A word about the hospital. Sharp Mary Birch is an unbelievably well run machine. For the most part all of the nurses and staff were great. They helped Rachel get used to breast feeding and gave us all of the basic tools to be able to go home without missing a beat in caring for the boys. One of the volunteers even snagged me a better pull-out bed to sleep on from another room. In all, we had a great experience and as crappy as Rachel felt after surgery, I can’t imagine a better hospital stay. It helped that the purpose of the hospital stay was babies and not open-heart surgery, but I think you know what I mean.

    My journal entry for Thursday, 23 April 2009: a poem by e.e. cummings titled, “I Thank You God.”

    “i thank you God for most this amazing
    day: for the leaping greenly spirits of trees
    and a blue true dream of sky; and for everything
    which is natural which is infinite which is yes

    (i who have died am alive again today,
    and this is the sun’s birthday; this is the birth
    day of life and love and wings: and of the gay
    great happening illimitably earth)

    how should tasting touching hearing seeing
    breathing any — lifted from the no
    of all nothing — human merely being
    doubt unimaginable You?

    (now the ears of my ears awake and
    now the eyes of my eyes are opened)”

    Edwin and Eugene are alive again today; and for parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles this is the birth day of life and love and wings.

    Bless you Noah and Jesse (and Rachel and David).
