After a wonderful weekend with Will at home, we've felt a real hole in the house today. We dropped Will off at the hospital this morning and it felt very odd. To bring him back despite him being so healthy (seemingly) was very strange. To make it more difficult, a new baby has been admitted into NICU over the weekend. This baby is extremely sick, and has pretty much every form of life support possible. Jules and I both quietly prayed for that baby this morning.
As a result, they have moved all the other babies in NICU out into the special care room. The machinery etc. that the new baby is on is very noisy, so to minimise impact on the other babies they've moved them.
To make the situation of leaving Will behind even more difficult, the nurses started to ask Jules this afternoon why she didn't extend the home leave. Asking her if she was too tired to look after him! Clearly not the case as we would desparately prefer to have him home. The nurses will ask the Doctor tomorrow, and, who knows, we may have him back again tomorrow for another few days. That would be a great (and very unexpected) blessing.
As mentioned in my last post, having Will home was a great thing for the kids as they really started to relate to him on a more personal level. They were a little sad this morning going to school knowing that he would be back in the hospital in the afternoon.
Some piccies of the Kids, 2 off to school, 1 off to hospital.

These are the times that I pray for God to give you guys strength and wisdom, as these are such confusing times. I pray that Will will be home with you again soon. I am constantly reminded of how great you guys are when I read this blogg with such emotional times for yourselves and still stopping to think of others. I will also add a prayer for this new sick baby. The photos of the kids are just wonderful and I think someone mentioned it earlier Christmas card worthy. Luv you lot xx
