Home is where the Henny is

Cha cha cha,
After a few days of being given day release from the ward Henny was finally allowed home - 25 long days after we first arrived.
Can't praise the staff at UllevÄl hospital enough - Newborn intensive - these people know their onions.

What they didn't know - they found out.
What they didn't really have time for - they made time for.
They didn't mind that I constantly stood in their way while cooing over my baby - they worked around me and did their job.
They made us feel like our child was the ONLY patient in the whole hospital.
They listened and heard our concerns.

They cared.

They saved Henny's life.

So we're home and not a moment too soon, still a little bit left before Henny is 100% but she is doing well.
She'll be back to the hospital on monday again for a blood test and quick check, just to make sure progress is being made.

'YAY, i'm going home.'



The first ride in TFW and she falls asleep - the seal of approval.



The first day of having double the amount of children to care for is an experience.

One eats, one lies on the table, we run about like headless chickens while they both demand different things.




Walking to the supermarket to buy our supplies, we haven't done much shopping over the last month.
