God is Good

Well I have now been home from the hospital since Mother's Day. I had been preparing myself since I was admitted to the hospital for the idea that Isaac might have to stay longer than I would...however when the doctors came in to tell me that I could go home...all I could do was cry. I must admit that it was the hardest most heart wrenching thing I have ever did was walk out of the hospital without him. I think I cried almost the whole way home. Yes I knew that he was in good hands and was where he needed to be and that my little girl needed her mommy at home but it did not make it easier.
It did get a little easier over the next two weeks as I went to see Isaac in the hospital...however it broke my heart everytime I walked out those doors without my little boy in my hands. As we were visiting one day the nurse gave Isaac a new binky so they gave me his old one to take home...as I walked out I began to cry...Corben asked what was wrong and I said I don't want a stupid binky I want my son. Two days latter when we walked in they told us that we could take Isaac home tomorrow. I can not yet put into words how I felt when I heard those words. We went to pick Isaac up after church on Sunday, May 22...two weeks and two days after being born and exactly two weeks after my heart wrenching walk out those same doors...this time as we walked out I again cried but this time they were tears of joy. We were finally going home as a family of four. Pearl could not understand why if I was so happy why I was crying.
Pearl has been a great big sister. She will help do anything we need unless it involves a dirty diaper. On his first evening home every little noise he made she would go running to see if he was ok.
Last Tuesday Isaac went for his two weeks out of hospital or one month check-up. His doctor gave him a clean bill of heath. Isaac weighed 6 pounds 10 ounces and the doctor said we should have no trouble with premature issues.
Praise God for all He has done for us and how He has blessed us. God is good all the time. All the time God is good.
