Introduction

Our sons Charles George Fitzpatrick and Henry Michael Fitzpatrick were born prematurely on November 16, 2013 at a gestational age of 24 weeks and 1 day. Their "due date" was March 7th, 2014. We started this site on November 28th.

Both Aly and David will be posting to the site. While you will probably be able to tell who is writing by our writing styles, we will sign off on our entries with our initials so you will be sure of the author.

It is Really Happening

Charlie and I spent Friday working from home while Aly went to the hospital with the intention of taking Henry home. Our day was great. We played the facial expression game;

Charlie - show Daddy your worried face

Charlie - show Daddy your sad face

Quite the character actor is Charlie. 

In the meantime at the hospital, Aly was being told that they had decided to do a test on Henry that ran the risk of him not getting out. She felt that the hospital needed to go to the corner and think about what they just did. 

By all accounts, Henry's last day at the hospital wasn't an easy one. Here's what Charlie thought about it;


The good news is that Aly did take Henry home. 

Here he is looking around at his new surroundings. Notice where the tape was from his cannula? Yep, Henry is on room air again!


So that's it. They're home. 

This might be my last blog post.
