Countdown

This day a year ago, my CarePage post was titled "No Rest for the Weary." It was the day Oliver's final routine ultrasound came back flagged for a possible brain bleed, and instead of making plans to take him home, we were sweating it out as the radiologists gave it a closer look. We'd crossed that off our long list of things to worry about because brain bleeds almost always occur very early on in a preemie's life. Thus, it was on this day, a year ago, that I determined one must never, ever cross anything off one's list. Turns out, as I've suspected since I was about 10, leaving it on the list vastly reduces the chances it will actually happen.

Anyway, as most of you know, the subsequent read showed there was no issue. And thus I present the last photos of Oliver in the NICU before he came home.
