New Tenant Arrives Home: 12/15/09 - 4:30 PM

Almost 10 days ago to the minute, Baby Tag was whisked away from his home and carried by his Mother to a van where he was rushed to Primary Children's Hospital.  Neither he nor his parents knew the adventures that were about to take place.  In fact, within one short week of this life, he'd already knocked out a few items on his bucket list, including:

1) Scare Dad with an excellent Halloween costume.
2) Take a slippery ride in a van within first hour on earth.
3) Get an A+ on first two tests:  CT Scan and MRI.
4) Stay calm during biopsy's, earning respect of his peers and hospital staff.
5) Inspire visits and warm wishes from many friends and family members.
6) Break wind so loud while in Dad's arms, that it causes him to proudly exclaim to nearby staff, "Did anyone just hear that?!"

Now he's been delivered back home where he and his new family can rest in their own beds (aaaaaah) and await the diagnosis from Cheryl Coffin, the specialist at Vanderbilt University.  According to our friends at Primary's, this could take a week.

Grandpa Brinton was at the hospital to say goodbye and help carry Tag's things to the car:



We are OUTA HERE!
