My son Mahlon was able to come home July 1st after spending a week in the hospital. His first stop outside of the hospital was his Mamaw & Papaw’s house in Sherman (that is, if you don’t count Whataburger drive-thru on Forest & Central). We spent around three hours visiting and also had other family members visit. He got to meet his great Papaw (which was very special to me). Mahlon finally arrived at his house at 2:53pm Saturday afternoon. The nurses said that he had his days/nights mixed up and we found that to be very true as Tonia stayed up all night with him. We took turns feeding and changing diapers all weekend and were both massively deprived of sleep. He got to meet his other great Papaw (Wilson) on Sunday and the 93 year-old could barely hold the 9 day-old because he’s so heavy! After a 2nd of July get-together at some friends house, we had a family 4th of July cookout at his Mamaw & Papaw’s house. Tonia and I both took 4-hour naps as Mamaw looked after Mahlon. That was the best 4 hours of sleep I’ve ever had! The holidays couldn’t have come at a better time! Now, it’s back to the old grindstone for the next 18+ years.
