599 Resource 593 21 21 1037247787719 1197136615041 Controlled Homecoming (Part 1)

At 5:30 PM today, Rose buckled up her safety belt and headed for home!

<p>Frankie was quite pleased to see his little sister sitting on the kitchen counter and insisted he "go up there, too." (Partly, to be by Rose, but I suspect partly, too, because being up on the counter looked fun.)</p><table cellspacing="8" cellpadding="0" border="0"><tbody><tr><td align="center"><a href="http://faseidl.com/news/11130001-HeadingHome.jpg" target="_blank"><img height="80" alt="Heading Home" hspace="0" src="http://faseidl.com/news/11130001-HeadingHome.jpg" width="60" border="0" /></a></td><td><p><strong>Heading Home</strong>—Proud Dad leaving hospital with Rose.</p></td></tr><tr><td align="center"><a href="http://faseidl.com/news/11130021-Kitchen.jpg" target="_blank"><img height="60" alt="Finally, a Sister!" hspace="0" src="http://faseidl.com/news/11130021-Kitchen.jpg" width="80" border="0" /></a></td><td><p><strong>Finally a Sister!</strong>—So this is what Mom and Dad have been talking about.</p></td></tr><tr><td align="center"><a href="http://faseidl.com/news/11130035-Dinner.jpg" target="_blank"><img height="80" alt="Dinner for Four" hspace="0" src="http://faseidl.com/news/11130035-Dinner.jpg" width="60" border="0" /></a></td><td><p><strong>Dinner for Four</strong>—Kathleen has made us a feast.</p></td></tr><tr></tr></tbody></table><p>We are elated to have Rose home, but we're also patiently waiting for Rita to be able to join her. Until then, Rose will get many chances to spend time with Rita, as we'll frequently bring her back to the NICU to visit—one benefit of living five minutes away.</p><p>Rita continues to baffle the experts while slowly improving. They say they may never fully understand what caused her ascites or how she got over it. That'd be fine with us.</p> 10 application/xml false homecoming Kathleen Rose Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727) 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 aseidl 68.40.167.222 false true false false true 173251 false false true false false false true 593 blog blogsite/Seidl/web
