Well today was quite a day...

The doctor who kept mentioning the "H" word that made mommy really happy yesterday came in late last night about 7:00 and has some different words for mommy which made her a little upset.

He first sent mommy to the Ronald McDonald house and told her to check out and get all her things packed up because when she got back WE COULD GO HOME!!!  HOME is that crazy word that was making mommy light up like a Christmas tree!!!  

So when mommy came back she was told that the doctors did not give me a hearing test in the past 8 weeks that I had been in the hospital. 

Now, I have seen mommy cry before, I have seen her get really excited, I have seen her so happy, but I have never seen mommy be so mad and frustrated... 

She looked like if she had a mouth full of nails she would have spit them all over the room!!!!  

She must not have been happy with the doctors who had been so nice to me for the past 8 weeks. I think it was becasue she was so happy when they were talking about going home, and now they were telling her she had to stay another night andvshe had to sleep in the room with me -- not all that bad in my book if you ask me!!!  

Being our last night in the hospital I tried my best to make sure mommy and I got as much alone time as we could because she has told me about the three crazy boys that will be living with us when we get home -- so I did my best to keep her up all night talking!!  It was great!

The audiologst (yea I know big hospital words) came in first thing in the morning - I think mommy had something to do with that because she has some choice words for the doctors. 

They gave me a hearing test about 8:00 and before I knew it mommy was bringing in this huge contraption that looked like a pink spaceship!!  She put me in it and OMG is it cozy!!!  

So we were off. My first offical trip in the car, just mommy and me cruising the countryside, not a care in the world...

"Hey damnit -- get in your own lane"!!!! Mommy yells out.

Then out of nowhere it feels like the front and then the back tires of the car fall into a crater!!!  Then again, and again...

I guess we are not touring the countryside -- we must be in Chicago and the DAMN street and sans workers must be on strike, holding out for another .$30/hour and can't fix the DAMN potholes!!!

We arrived safely at home about 10:30 - and I could tell that mommy was very happy again and happy to be home. 

So as much I as liked spending time alone with mommy, daddy, nana, mimi, and meeting a lot of new friends - I have figured out why mommy was so happy when the doctors talked about HOME. 

I met my brothers, daddy was there, nana was there, mimi was there...

This is why mommy was so excited - I am home.
