day 4 (December 17, 2006)

I was discharged from the hospital today, which was a bittersweet experience. I am very happy to be at home in my own bed now, but it was so hard to leave Asher at the hospital. At least I know that he is in good hands in the NICU. He will remain in the NICU (perhaps with a transfer to St. Joseph's) for the next month or beyond.

this picture might give you an idea of how small he is:
