I wanted to make it clear for the record that Brooke didn't intentionally stay overnight to spite us. It was good for her since she really could not have managed coming at home at all. However prior to the surgery, the doctor had indicated that she would be able to go home within 3 hours of surgery.....definitely not the case....so that everything would have been covered.

All survived, however...especially Ellyn who gave both Mike and I "I got my way" looks as she started to nurse!!! (Don't tell me 6 month old babies aren't able to wield influence!)
