What a happy day it was when we got to bring Brooks home from the hospital. At first the NICU doctors were saying he could be in there for maybe 2 weeks, so we were almost in disbelief when they said he was being discharged. The Baby Suites where he was born does a neat thing for parents with babies in the NICU. The night before the baby is discharged, the parents can come spend the night in one of the rooms and have the baby in there with you. Darin and I couldn't wait to have our first night with little Brooks. Mama and Daddy were still here in Jackson so Daddy came to the hospital with us while we got settled in for the night. He couldn't wait to get his hands on his grandson!
The next day one of the nurses came and got Brooks because they do a standard discharge exam. Darin and I were told to go have breakfast and they would call us when Brooks was ready. About halfway through our meal we got the call. We looked at each other and just couldn't believe we were going to be taking our son home! Minnie, his big sister dog, met him in the garage. She licked and kissed all over his little face. Yea! The dog approves!
