An end to the wait? We're waiting to hear....

We talked to the floor nurse just after noon, and she told us that she expected to get us in this afternoon. She told us she'd call us when she knew a room was ready for us, so we wouldn't have to sit in the waiting room while they prepare.

Talking to someone who can tell us what's going on and demonstrate that they understand that this is an HLHS baby and they are making sure we have everything we need is very comforting and calming. Also, the comments from our friends who have been through similar situations helps quite a bit as well: Pat is really very safe right where he is now, and there's no hurry.

I'll update as I learn more.

  1. `happy to hear that you have a good nurse always ask questions you have the right to answers even if some answers are not available right away asking always helps from asking for things to comfort you or for reasons and plans it is always good to ask questions.. We re sending our love and well wishes and hope that you enjoy the moments you have and get time to hold him.

  2. Hey Rob and Pui... We've seen the photos and have been following Pat's progress.

    He is so beautiful. And indeed, a pimped crib. Our thoughts are with you by the moment.

    Love

    Rick and Yodit
