Morning Phone Call

Goodmorning everyone! I received a call this morning from Whitney pretty early.  At first I was freaking out because I was wondering why she was calling so early. But I guess she had no clue what time it was. :) She was calling to tell me that the Neonatologist (??? is that what he's called??) called them and said that Ruby was doing "fantastic!" Obviously we're not out of the woods yet, but for a baby with this type of defect, she is doing as well as possible.  Woot woot!!

Also, I received a text this morning from Josh with the below picture.  Last night after the family left the hospital, Whitney and Josh couldn't sleep, so they decided to go visit Ruby.  It's been an emotional journey for Whitney, not being able to hold her own child.  But last night Whitney got to hold Ruby's hand for 15 minutes and change her diaper.  :)  After the doctor called them this morning, Josh said that the reason Ruby was doing "fantastic" and had a good night was because she was able to hold Mommy's hand. :) :)

Surgery is still on for 11am.

Let's go Rubalicious!!!
