Right. Emma will come home too. She was a bit jaundiced today but apparently not enough for them to be concerned. They will check her again tomorrow. She is getting good care. The staff has been magnificent, treating them like family. Oh, BTW, the doctor who delivered Emma is the mother of one a child who was in Kelly's 1st grade class last year. The hospital was refusing to deliver the baby because they have a rule that they don't deliver before 35 weeks since they don't have a neo-natal unit. They wanted to send them to Columbus, but Kelly begged the doctor to deliver her here. She was crying that she didn't want to go to Columbus. So the doctor put her career on the line and delivered Emma with the agreement that they would send her to Huntington by life-flight if she had any problems. Thank God she did fine and the doctor is off the hook (I hope). She was not Kelly's doctor but was covering for the GYOB was on vacation. Roy & Kelly were comfortable with her because they were already friends and she had been seeing Kelly for two or three weeks. She has a good reputation and is so busy she can't take any new patients. She looked awfully young to me. Ha.
What blessings throughout this event!
Having worked in a major hospital (and 3 others before then) for many years, I understand the complexities of the situation, and how it took God to intervene for Kelly and all of you.
It would have been harrowing to drive all the way to Columbus for Roy and you and Jack, or wherever they choppered her - and to have to stay there in a motel and eat out, etc. - and be among strangers.
Praise a merciful and gracious God!!
