Month: September 2003
James First Day at Home 2003
After staying in the hospital a few days James passed all his health tests and came home for the first time. He had a bit of a fight with jaundice, but the doctors put him under some ultraviolet lights and they said he should be fine. We have a brand new car seat for the little guy, and he’s already had his hospital photo taken. The people at Garden City hospital did a wonderful job and we promised to come back after Mary recovers and bring everyone donuts and coffee.
Ironic that he was born on the same day as my sister Peg. So many birthdays in September already, now we have another one. At least the odds are that I will remember my sister Pegs birthday from now on. Mary’s birthday is in September, our anniversary is in September, Criss and Kenny I think are in September… Too much to remember at one time.
James Born 2003
Never forget this day, Mary went in for a stress check and a few hours later James was born via c-section. We were prepared for such an event. Mary had a bag packed (it also had $10 in quarters for vending machines) in it. I had gotten her a portable DVD player so she could watch movies while recovering. I brought her the first season of ER, probably could have done a better choice, it reminded me of the movie Airplane where the inflight movie was about plane crashes.
Mary and James are doing fine, will email/call everyone. Stopped at the K for a beer as well. The news on this day is mostly about Johnny Cash and John Ritter who both died. The weather is awful, raining constantly, and I have a cold and am very tired.
