Mom had such a great day today.  Amanda got there around 8am and Melissa and Dad got there soon after.  Although Mom is still very weak she had a great breakfast and lunch and was so happy to be around family and friends.  This morning she wanted to see her beautiful flowers that she received and stared at them most of the time (she is quite the gardener/flower lady in our household)!

Mandy went home around 2pm and waited for the call from Dad about when they were going to take Mom outside by the fountain.   She came back to the hospital around 4pm with Moms little baby in her arms!  Madison was so excited to see her Mama.  We had cake from our favorite bakery in Sandy Springs called the Little European Bakery along with ice cream.  We managed to get two candles to stay lit even though it was so windy so Mom and Richard could make a wish and blow them out.  Mom was just so pleased to be outside with her little baby and family.  It got a little chilly with the wind so we brought Mom right inside the front entrance to the hospital and… shhh… we snuck Madison in :) .  All in all it was a good day for Mom.

We are looking at bringing Mom home this coming Wednesday (hopefully) and it couldn’t come soon enough.  We can’t wait to sit on the deck with our family and friends and celebrate Mom.  Dad even said he wants all of the amazing nurses that helped Mom to come over and have a big bar-b-que!

Thank you all for your prayers!  Mom enjoyed all of the sweet birthday cards and messages that she received.  Thank you!  Posted are a few pictures we took today.  Enjoy!

Happy Birthday Mom!

Amanda and Melissa
