First Hug

I texted Brandi today to see how Chase was doing after his chest tubes were removed.  He had been really weak and his cry was inaudible while they were doing it so she was having a hard time. I wanted to know if she knew when they might get to hold him.   Her response; "I'm holding him right now. . . Heaven"   Brought happy tears to my eyes.  I can't imagine how long four days is when you can't hold your very fragile three week old.
