Praise the Lord, we were all able to come home today. They began the
discharging process this morning, and we left the hospital at noon.

Bonnie is doing very well. Her brothers are so excited to have her
home. They keep wanting to hold her. Gilbert tells me every time her
mouth moves at all. He keeps asking if we can get a drink for Bonnie.
They also helped Nana make a cake. Gilbert told us it is Bonnie's
birthday cake. The first time he got to hold her, he sang Happy
Birthday to her. Danny keeps saying, "Baby, baby."

Gilbert kept wanting her to cry or do something. When she started
crying, he was very concerned about her. He stood right by her during
the diaper change to tell her, "It's okay, Baby Bonnie."

We tried putting the boys down for a nap, but they are both too excited
to sleep. However, Nana was ready for a nap.

We will work on getting some pictures sent.

Thanks again for all of your prayers!

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, Bonnie, and Nana
