I left them behind.....

.....and I didn't want to.
It was time for me to leave Canada and return to Japan. Whish I could of taken Serenity with me, instead I left her in the capable hands of my partner.
Looking forward for this weekend to arrange Serenity's room in our apartment here in Tokyo.

Time to clean up and......Sleeeeeeeeeeep !!!!!

Day 3- Going "Home"

We are hoping this is the day she will leave the hospital. This morining her jaundace level has dropped some, but the doctor would like to have another blood test done in the afternoon before he releases her.
...........
Good news. Our girl is doing great, the levels have been dropping since this morning and we are awaiting doctor's decision..........
............
And at last, our baby girl is going home with us this evening.
Here she is, all dressed up and ready to go.

Day 2 - Tanning

Our baby girl is eating a lot, according to one of the nurses. We are now anxious to take her to her temporary home. Unfortunately she has jaundice and she will have to remain in the hospital for another day.
Here she is "tanning".
Her daddy was very creative as seen on this photo.

Day 1-Sleeping, Feeding, Sleeping, Feeding.....

She has been doing very well. The nurses and the doctor at the Regina General Hospital were happy about her development. We would like to thank the staff of the nursery for their support and help while we were there.
