Glory to God....Dad is being discharged today and should be home around 2:00PM. Dr. Harpole and Dad's nurse both said that he is only the 2nd patient that they have seen go home in a 5-6 day timeframe following this surgery. Dr. Harpole has been employed at Duke since 1983 and Dad's nurse has been employed there since 1987 so both are long-term employees. Both were very impressed with Dad's healing and speedy recovery.
Jackson & I are going to go over to my parents house and welcome Dad home. We arn't going to stay too long but I imagine that this will be our last visit over there for a couple weeks due to BGP's forthcoming arrival. Dan has a meeting until 7PM so he won't be able to come with us.
BGP is still hanging tight. Lots of contractions last night during American Idol. Of course, they didn't lead to anything. I did wake up several times with strong contractions in the middle of the night. During the day, for whatever reason, not too much seems to occur. Perhaps now that Dad is coming home, I won't be so stressed and I will be able to relax.
Induction is on Friday and we have to be there at 6AM. Dr. Lee thinks the laboring process will be very quick so hopefully by 6PM on Friday, we'll have Miss BGP outta there and taking lots of pictures of her!
Much love and thanks for your continued prayers and support! God sure is good!
