Good Morning,
Well, big brother has packed his bag and headed back to Tennessee. He handled it much better than I thought he would. I told him that he had to be strong for mommy and he said "like Samson, in the Bible". And I said yes Will, he then said "but mommy I don't have long hair". At that point Keith asked him, who gave Samson that long hair? Will replied, "God". We then explained to Will that God could help him be strong, without him having to have long hair. He was glad.
So they (Keith, Nana and Will) got on the road around 1:00 today. And I am just hanging out in the waiting room between feedings, I have lots to read and am enjoying just letting all of this still sink in! One of the ladies we have met at the church here has offered to come and get me and take me back to our hotel when I am ready. (since I am without wheels:)) I am planning on staying here through the next two feedings. Keith has class at Lipscomb on Tuesday evening, he will try to work a little on Wednesday and Thursday morning he is doing the closing on our house (we are in the midst of refi-ing our home). So in typical Malugin style, we have LOTS going on! Not to even mention Jillian and Lilly Beth!!!!!! And speaking of them.........
We stopped by the Bethany Christian Services Adoption office this morning, which is near the hospital, and signed placement papers. And we just happened to have some pictures of the girls, which we got to show off! They also started the interstate comp papers today, these are the papers that we will need to bring the girls out of Mississippi and into Tennessee. Jillian is going into an open air crib tomorrow, then if she handles that well and is able to keep her body temp regulated she should get to be discharged on Wednesday!!! (so exciting but also terrifying, it has been almost 6yrs. since I've been responsible for a newborn) Lilly Beth should then be put into an open air crib toward the end of the week / weekend and if she keeps her body temperature regulated she should be discharged over the weekend / Monday!!! So there you have it, we could be home as early as a week from today! YEA!!!
THANK YOU LORD AND THANK YOU FRIENDS & FAMILY FOR YOUR THOUGHTS/ACTS OF KINDNESS/PRAYERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
