Home Sweet Home

The Brister trio arrived home around 3:30 Thursday afternoon after four long days at the hospital. Here is Jacob after his first bath in his new home.
We learned Wednesday that Jacob has jaundice. There has been a little bit of concern from his pediatrician, although she monitored it throughout the day and evening on Wednesday and it improved today. Nevertheless, they are having him wear a "lamp" of sorts (similar to the one he wore in the hospital below) tonight and will check him again tomorrow.

We were very thankful they discharged us today. Below, Jacob appears to be unhappy by the news--he really liked his nurses--but I really think he's crying because he fears he has been dressed like a little girl in his going home outfit.

Suzanne is tired but is doing great and has quit taking pretty much all pain medications. She is mobile and I'm sure will be back at the gym as soon as she gets the green light! The whole gang, including a baffled George, is resting in the bedroom until our next feeding shortly after midnight. Until next time here's a "best of" collection of pics from our vacation.
