The Discharge Process





Each nurse that entered our room was surprised to learn that Leah wanted to go home so soon!


Leah explained that the three other children at home were so excited to meet their new sister and she knew that she would get better rest in her own bed. The first mention of being discharged from the hospital does not mean that you will go home soon, it just means that you have started the process...we were so thankful that in God's perfect timing and attention to detail, we were granted discharge from the hospital, Evangelyn in hand.


Not without setting off a "code pink" - making it appear that we were stealing our own baby home! It was truly an adventure! Here's some pictures of the discharge journey!
