Ella makes the call

Kristy packed up all her clothes this morning after a nice quiet evening at home last night. She had decided to stay with Ella at the hospital until Jack was released. After 13+ years of marriage, we thought that last night would be our last one without Jack and Ella around, so we reminisced about the last couple decades and how life would change now...

Then, after Kristy got to the hospital, she learned that Ella had decided to brady (hopefully for the last time). This resets the clock, so she has 5 more days of admission. So, we'll head back home again tonight and Kristy has a couple more days...

Also, Jack has been doing a bit better with his oxygen. He was on the cannula set on room air for the yesterday, but today he decided he needed a bit more support. We were hoping on the outside chance that he may come home w/o oxygen support, but that doesn't appear likely now.

Ella is now at 5 lb 11 oz and Jack is 5 lb 1 oz. It's great to see them both pass that 5 lb mark.

On a sad note, our prayers go out to the family down the hall whose young one passed away today. Kristy has a card with a quote that goes something like 'Sometimes when one person is lost, it feels as though the whole world is depopulated'.
